Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
ACMRS enablse and promotes the most expansive, creative, and daring scholarship in premodern studies. We do this not only by fostering a vibrant intellectual community for scholars around the world, but also by publishing forward-looking, vanguard research through our in-house press. ACMRS promotes work that is historically grounded and theoretically expansive, with the aim of advancing dialogues that reach into the present moment and point us to different, more inclusive, futures.
RaceB4Race
RaceB4Race is a cross-institutional scholarly community for scholars and students of premodern critical race studies. Bridging many traditional disciplinary divides, RaceB4Race not only creates innovative scholarly dialogues, but also fosters professional development and structural change within the many fields of premodern studies. As a model for what a horizontally organized learned society can do for its community, RaceB4Race looks to Arizona State University's charter, measuring ourselves not by whom we exclude, but by whom we include and how they succeed.
