Department of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies at Penn State

The 2020-2021 Weltin Lecture by Dr. Philippa Townsend, "Reading Race in Early Christian Texts," will take place on Friday, April 23 at 3:00pm CDT. The issue of... racial justice has exploded into public discourse over the past year. Dr. Townsend's paper explores the intersection of ancient and modern discourses on race, asking how the study of ethnicity in the ancient world connects to the current context, how early Christian texts construct kinship and ethnic difference, and how interpretation of those texts has shaped contemporary ideas about race and religion.
