She has written extensively on the politics of race and gender in antiquity&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;is currently at work on a project&amp;nbsp;examining the role of eugenics in early twentieth-century classical scholarship. In 2012,&amp;nbsp;she published her book&amp;nbsp;Race: Antiquity &amp;amp; Its Legacy, which will be the topic of today\u2019s conversation. It accounts&amp;nbsp;for the&amp;nbsp;various ways in which ancient cultures thought about race (including race as social practice and racial representations). We also dig into the &quot;Black Athena&quot; controversy a bit and why the field of Classics handled it so poorly.
