CITY WALK oN the HISTORY OF RACISM in uppsala
Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism (CEMFOR) introduces digital City Walk on The History of Racism in Uppsala.
Welcome to a digital city walk on The history of racism in Uppsala, produced by the Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism at Uppsala University.
The purpose of this city walk is to raise awareness of Uppsala's history of racism. We intend to show the global and local history of racism through a selection of places, including the location for the State Institute for Racial Biology and which effects its activities have had for the development of racism and race theory worldwide.
