While at IAS, Celia Chazelle will research and write a monograph tracing the story of Gregory the Great's encounter with "white" and "beautiful" English slaves from the early 700s to the present. Chazelle hopes to elucidate the continuities as well as changes, through the centuries, in Western attitudes toward somatic whiteness.
