New from Harvard Divinity School: Religion and the Legacies of Slavery

Dear friend,

Throughout history and continuing today, religion operates as a powerful force in human affairs.

In my HarvardX courses, “World Religions Through Their Scriptures” and “Religion, Conflict & Peace,” we explored the vital insight religion provides into our most pressing historic and contemporary challenges, opening new possibilities for advancing just peace.

Because you have this foundational experience, I’d like to personally invite you to broaden your understanding of the complex role religion plays in the human experience.

Join me for “Religion and the Legacies of Slavery,” a new, free public conversation series beginning January 30. Organized by Religion and Public Life, the six-week online series features conversations with Harvard Divinity School faculty discussing these and related questions: what does the academic study of religion teach us about the complex histories and legacies of slavery, and how can a deeper understanding of the roles of religion enhance our commitment to reparative action in our contemporary times?

Faculty will engage these vital questions from their expertise within the study of religion. The discussions will:

Address the role of religion and ethics in grappling with the memory and history of African enslavement
Consider whether the exploration of family histories can inform reparative work in the present day
Take account of religion in addressing and redressing the legacy of enslavement at Harvard and beyond
Discuss reparative and healing workshops

I hope you will join these important conversations as we all work together to make change and advance racial justice and healing in our own time and context

Warmly,
Diane L. Moore
Faculty Director, Religion and Public Life
Harvard Divinity School
