EIHS Lecture: Beyond Affirmative Action: What Roman Identity Politics Can Teach the US
Nandini Pandey (Johns Hopkins University)
Dr. Nandini Pandey, Associate Professor of Classics at the Johns Hopkins University, previews her forthcoming book on ancient and modern diversity with some lessons ancient Rome’s multiethnic empire holds for the United States. How might Rome’s pragmatic inclusivity inform our own rethinking of affirmative action following 2023 Supreme Court decisions ending race-conscious admissions?
Nandini Pandey is a Romanist broadly interested in Latin literature, political and intellectual history, visual culture, and the conversations among them. She loves interrogating how meanings are made and change over time and across media; how words, images, and built environments interact with humans; and how identities and ideologies have been constructed alongside interpretations of the classics, from antiquity to the present day.
This event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
