I loved having a conversation with Jonathan F. Correa-Reyes, PhD as part of this episode, and I hope that hearing about the continuities (and contrasts) across all of the contributions offers a more complete, complex picture of race and race-making across the Middle Ages. Thank you for having me! 🩷
