Next our third keynote: Professor Emma Dench is talking about "Neighbours or Strangers? Race to Ethnicity and back again in Classical #Antiquity" #PassagesVII
Dench: Multiculturalism of the ancient society not controversial for scholars, but representations of non-white people in antiquity very rare. #PassagesVII
Dench: Until recently, ancient scholars not very interested in race and ethnicity. Not seen relevant. #PassagesVII
Dench: We should not romanticize the multiculturalism of the ancient society. Multiculturalism does not equate to tolerance. Scholars should not take part in myth-making. #PassagesVII
Dench: Scholars need to look beyond ethnic types and avoid nationalistic paradigm. Important to pay attention on the representation of different groups in the society, scholars should do better. Need to take part also in contemporary political discussions. #PassagesVII
