The Race and Regency Pod brings the public, scholars, and cultural critics together to reimagine our understandings of race in the nineteenth century. Through a series of conversations with a diverse community of scholars, curators, librarians, and Regency enthusiasts, the  podcast speaks to the vibrant intersections of history, art, and popular culture and highlights new approaches to Regency culture. We aim to broaden and deepen understanding of the Regency by considering it alongside constructions of race in the era. Doing so, expands it thematically, geographically, and temporally.  This expansion shifts the focus from the myth of a homogenous Britain to a global understanding of its impact in the past and how we engage with it now.
