Dan-el Padilla Per alta Ph.D.

Hosted on February 8, 2022, and moderated by Dr. Michael Gomez, Africans in Ancient Worlds: Scholarly Trajectories, featured Dr. Eve Trout Powell, Dr. Solange Ashby, and Dr. Dan-el Padilla Peralta as panelists. The event was a critical discussion of race and social formation in ancient Egypt, Northern Africa, and the broader Mediterranean world. The panelists discussed the significance of investigating the embeddedness of race and racism in academic fields and disciplines like Egyptology and the Classics. They further elaborated on the need to connect North Africa to civilizations throughout the rest of the continent via an edited volume. The panelists also engaged in dialogue about new directions in their fields of study, especially with respect to gender and methodological interventions that deemphasize writing by focusing on material culture, genetics, archeology, and linguistics. Ultimately, they conclude by raising questions about professional academic training; how new approaches in their fields and cross collaboration stand to redefine modes of inquiry in exciting new ways.
