Minerals Online Roundtable II: ‘Extraction and Racial Capitalism
Online
Nov 21, 3:00 pm–4:30 pm
The second roundtable in our online series for 2024/25 seeks to unravel the complex interplay between resource extraction, labour dynamics, and racial capitalism in both historical and literary contexts.
We aim to gather literary critics and historians researching the intersections of extractivism and race, across different geographical regions and historical periods. Our goal is to foster a discussion that stretches across the global and the local, the past and the present. Central to our dialogue is an exploration of the origins of the ‘global colour line’ in the long histories of resource extraction.

- Dr Danielle Kinsey, Associate Professor, Department of History, Carleton University
- Dr Rebecca Macklin, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, School of Literatures, Languages, Music and Visual Cultures, University of Aberdeen
- Dr Nick McGee, Assistant Professor, Department of History, Durham University
