Join us October 5 for a conversation from three different perspectives on the complex relationship between civic life and black intellectual traditions.

Speakers:

Hollis Robbins (University of Utah)
Brandon Terry (Harvard University)
Peter Levine (Tufts University)

The broader seminar gathers scholars from within and beyond the Boston area to explore the resources of the Black intellectual tradition and the practice of public history for supporting academic freedom and advancing democracy within and beyond the university.

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Humanities at Tufts, the Center for Public History, and the Departments of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

All are welcome. For questions, contact humanities@tufts.edu
