Slavery and the University is the first edited collection of
scholarly essays devoted solely to the histories and legacies of
this subject on North American campuses and in their Atlantic
contexts. Gathering together contributions from scholars,
activists, and administrators, the volume combines two broad bodies
of work: (1) historically based interdisciplinary research on the
presence of slavery at higher education institutions in terms of
the development of proslavery and antislavery thought and the use
of slave labor; and (2) analysis on the ways in which the legacies
of slavery in institutions of higher education continued in the
post-Civil War era to the present day. The collection features
broadly themed essays on issues of religion, economy, and the
regional slave trade of the Caribbean. It also includes case
studies of slavery's influence on specific institutions, such as
Princeton University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Emory
University, and the University of Alabama. Though the roots of
Slavery and the University stem from a 2011 conference at Emory
University, the collection extends outward to incorporate recent
findings. As such, it offers a roadmap to one of the most exciting
developments in the field of U.S. slavery studies and to ways of
thinking about racial diversity in the history and current
practices of higher education.
