在这次演讲中， 詹妮弗·J. 戴维斯, Associate Professor of History at The University of Oklahoma and coeditor of the Journal of Women’s History, will explore the roots of the modern census in France and the 美国 in a common document: a count of residents in colonial New France (Canada) in the year 1666. The practices that developed to track and tax the inhabitants in France’s American colonies contributed to durable categories of political inclusion and social discrimination. 戴维斯 will trace how religious categories informed racial categories in those records and examine long-term political resistance to enumeration and categorization of populations. She also will consider how race and religion factored in the most recent census data in the US (2020) and in France (2024).
劳里·罗斯, Professor and Director of the 部门 of Sustainability and Social Justice at 博彩平台推荐, will provide commentary.
