  <title><![CDATA[History Lesson: Scholars Take Aim at Racist Views of Middle Ages]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Chair of the Georgia Tech School of Literature, Media, and Communication Richard Utz was recently quoted by the Christian Science Monitor in a story about race and representation for Medieval histortians.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here&rsquo;s an excerpt:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Some feel there should be a stronger separation between academia and politics and object to their colleagues&rsquo; more progressive efforts, says Richard Utz, professor of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.</p>

<p>But efforts to purge racial bias have been building momentum, Dr. Utz says, and despite the painful process, some medievalists see a sense of hope emerging.</p>
