Five panels will be offered as part of the conference. Smith’s panel is titled “Skeletons in Our Closet: Anthropology’s Role in Constructing and Deconstructing the Science of Race.”
Smith, along with co-panelists, will discuss the troubled history of anthropology’s role in the development of false sciences of racial differences and black inferiority.
