Ramón H. Rivera-Servera, Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Performance Studies at Northwestern University, discusses his latest book, "Exhibiting Performance: Race, Museum Cultures, and the Live Event," which looks at the ways race has been collected and exhibited in North America and the Caribbean since the mid-1990s. A conversation with UC Berkeley Professor Julia Bryan-Wilson will follow the keynote address.
Professor Rivera-Servera’s work includes research on history museums, the economics of cultural tourism, indigenous artisan communities, the performance of labor, and craft production and folk art markets.
The Performance Studies Graduate Speaker Series invites notable performance scholars from across the United States to Berkeley to discuss developing subfields of research in the discipline. This event is co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Global Urban Humanities Initiative.
