of the medieval Iberian peninsula. Critical questions include: What are the connects and disconnects between notions of race as construed across the plurality of Iberia's polities/communities? Is there an essential difference between Islamic, Jewish, and Christian
notions of race? Just how homogeneous are notions of race as construed within each of these communities? Where do racial constructs travel across borders (whether real or conceptual) and how are they interpreted, challenged, appropriated, or repurposed? How
do class, gender, and lineage intersect with racial constructs (e.g., in the case of marriage alliances)? By exploring race in comparative context, we hope to capture some of the complex intersectionality of race with ethnicity, religion, class, and gender
in medieval Iberia. We welcome especially scholars that focus on the Arabic, Jewish and other non-Romance traditions of the peninsula.</span></blockquote>
