RaceB4Race strategic data collection

Curricula development needs assessment

With support from the Mellon Foundation, the RaceB4Race: Sustaining, Building, Innovating project aims to expand premodern critical race studies by focusing on curricular development, field diversification, academic mentorship and making the humanities relevant and accessible to public audiences.

A major initiative of the Mellon-funded project is to create curricular materials that would enhance premodern studies courses. To determine the need for and focus of these materials, ACMRS collected information from scholars who teach courses in premodern studies. The results of this survey and all other data collected during the RaceB4Race: Sustaining, Building, Innovating project is freely available here. We hope this information will help other programs, educators, and researchers develop resources that support a different, more inclusive, future for premodern studies.
