This course investigates the historical ties between the study of Classical antiquity at Harvard and slavery, and those ties' complex and enduring legacies. Areas of examination include the relationship between the ideologies of slavery in the ancient and modern worlds, the teaching of ancient languages and literatures and the historical development of the institutions of slavery, the evolving history and politics of classical and Judeo-Christian antiquity in the Harvard curriculum, and the role of the study of antiquity in abolition and other forms of resistance. The focus of this seminar is original, public-facing student research: students will make extensive use of University collections to develop original research projects over the course of the semester.

###### Class Notes:

The course meets as a two-hour discussion seminar with additional time to study sources in University collections with input from peers and faculty.

###### Recommended Prep: No prior knowledge of Greek or Latin assumed or required.

###### Jointly Offered with: Faculty of Arts & Sciences as [CLS-STDY 184](/void(0);)
