This workshop supports the development of an edited volume called Taking Stock: Stereotypes from Asian America to the Ancient Mediterranean.
Fifteen contributions draw on frameworks from social psychology and Asian American studies to analyze the function of stereotypes within ancient Greek and Roman cultures, and in the scholarship that investigates them, showing how stereotypes can function both to alienate and to assimilate, to challenge and reimagine structures of power and privilege.
