Universities and Slavery: Bound by History | Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University
Daguerreotype of Renty, an African-born slave, taken by J.T. Zealy in 1850. Commissioned by Louis Agassiz. Peabody Museum, Harvard University
In March 2016, Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust, in an opinion piece in the Harvard Crimson, urged the university to more fully acknowledge and understand its links to slavery, stating, “The past never dies or disappears. It continues to shape us in ways we should not try to erase or ignore.”
On March 3, 2017, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University will host a daylong conference to explore the relationship between slavery and universities, across the country and around the world.
The faculty conference organizers are Harvard professors 
Sven Beckert, Laird Bell Professor of History
Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Victor S. Thomas Professor of History and of African and African American Studies
Daniel Carpenter, director of the social sciences program at the Radcliffe Institute and Allie S. Freed Professor of Government
The conference builds on the Harvard and Slavery initiative, founded in 2007, in which students and faculty—led by Beckert—began a detailed examination of Harvard’s range of connections to slavery. 
Thank you for your interest in the "Universities and Slavery: Bound by History" conference. The event space has reached capacity, and we are no longer accepting registrations. Unfortunately, walk-in attendees cannot be accommodated.
