As a member of the global consortium of Universities Studying Slavery (USS), the WashU & Slavery Project receives invitations to participate in various events hosted by consortium members throughout the year. These opportunities are shared with WashU & Slavery Project contacts through our email lists, website and other communications.
Registration is now open for the symposium “In the Wake of Slavery and Dispossession: Emory, Racism, and the Journey Towards Restorative Justice,” set for Sept. 29 through Oct. 1, 2021, and hosted by Emory University. The symposium will take place in a hybrid format on Emory’s Atlanta and Oxford campuses, with in-person and virtual sessions, as well as physical and digital exhibits. The symposium is open to the public at no charge.
Many universities are examining their histories and discovering their connections to slave labor and Indigenous dispossession. This symposium will highlight the ongoing efforts and research in the areas of slavery, dispossession, and restorative justice, with a focus on the legacy of racism and its enduring effects at Emory University. The sessions will include creative interpretations and dialogue, with a primary focus on the perspectives of Black, Native American, and Indigenous peoples.
