Building beyond the work of the 2022 Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery Report, Harvard Divinity School will host a series of online conversations with members of the HDS faculty to engage these vital questions from their expertise within the study of religion. Expand your understanding of the complex history and continuing implications of slavery in service of advancing racial justice in our own time and context.
On February 6, David F. Holland, John A. Bartlett Professor of New England Church History, and Kathryn Gin Lum, Associate Professor in Religious Studies at Stanford University, will discuss how racialist and religious hierarchies converged and persist in American institutions like Harvard University.
Hosted by Dr. Diane L. Moore, Faculty Director, Religion and Public Life and Dr. Melissa Wood Bartholomew, Associate Dean of the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
This is the second of a six-part series sponsored by Religion and Public Life, the HDS Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, the Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery Initiative, and by HarvardX.
