Over the past year, Yasmine Hachimi has been invited to talk about her work on the racialization of Anne Boleyn for the Race & Queenship Lecture Series at Butler University, the Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard, and the University of York’s Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past. She attended the Renaissance Society of America’s annual convention in Dublin, where she was on the “Gendering Whiteness in Early Modern England” panel, sponsored by The Newberry Center for Renaissance Studies. Yasmine collaborated with the Woolly Mammoth Theatre in an Instagram Live to support their production of Teenage Dick, a contemporary retelling of Richard III and she participated in a lively reading and discussion of The Old Wife’s Tale with The Hurly Burly Shakespeare Show podcast. She was recently invited to interview Margo Hendricks in support of the release of Hendricks’s new book, Race and Romance: Coloring the Past (ACMRS Press). Yasmine will be joining the Newberry Library in the fall as a Public Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow and she is also the recipient of the Mellon Foundation funded RaceB4Race Social Media Fellowship. | |
