The MEMSA Race Reading Group is organized by the officers of the Medieval and Early Modern Graduate Student Association: Richard Ibarra (History), Stefanie Matabang (Comparative Literature) and Chase Caldwell Smith (History). This reading group is meant to be a forum to discuss ideas of premodern race with the UCLA grad student and faculty community.
