The yearlong 2025-2026 program for Racisms and Colonialism in the Longue Durée will be hybrid, and all events require registration. Lectures feature extended talks followed by Q&A with listed speakers, while seminars gather graduate students for follow-up discussion with pre-circulated readings. Each set of lectures and seminars is thematically paired, organized around a particular set of keywords.

For graduate students interested in partaking in the yearlong lecture and seminar series, please apply to the SPRC/RITM Racisms and Colonialisms Fellowship, co-sponsored by the Sarah Parker Remond Centre (SPRC) and the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration (RITM).
