AHS PRogram chair James M. thomas

Biography:
​James M. Thomas (JT) is associate professor of sociology at the University of Mississippi. To date, he is the author or co-author of four book-length monographs, and over twenty peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and invited essays on the causes and consequences of race and racism in America, and abroad. His scholarship is wide-ranging in its coverage: from comparative and historical analyses of the medicalization of racism in Western Europe and in the United States; to theorizing the complex interplay between race, citizenship, and affect along the US-Mexico border; to critical investigations of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on college campuses. His newest book-length project, The Souls of Jews, centers the role of late nineteenth century German antisemitism in the development of W.E.B. Du Bois’s intellectual project.
