Details | Criminalization-Surveillance-Resistance: Roma & Policing from the Holocaust to the Present This virtual workshop explores the history of race and policing through the experiences of European Roma from the late 19th century through the Holocaust and into the present. Scholars from the US, Europe, and beyond will address the confluence of the criminalization and racialization of the category of “Gypsy,” the role of the police in the persecution and genocide of Roma in the Holocaust, and the legacies of this history for Romani communities to the present day. The program will open with a roundtable of scholars and activists who will address the contemporary stakes of the history of the criminalization and police persecution of Roma in Europe and explore resonances with parallel histories of race and policing in the American context. Presented by: The Center for Austrian Studies, The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and the Institute for Global Studies Please register for each session individually.
