| A re-imagined version of the 18th century “Ballet des Porcelaines,” centering the Asian American experience and challenging racial typecasting of the original, was recently staged at MIT with support from the MIT Center for Art, Science, and Technology (CAST). “MIT might be known for its emphasis on STEM, but the arts, humanities, and social sciences are also central to our undergraduate curriculum,” says Jeffrey Ravel, a professor of history and a specialist in 18th century French theater and political culture. This performance, he emphasizes, “is part of our ongoing campus conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, investigating the historical context of the pervasive issues that affect cultural production today.”
