An exploration of how slavery and its legacies of discrimination and injustice marked the andscape and people of Sewanee, from its pre-Civil War roots in the slave-holding South through the university’s integration in the 1950s and 1960s. The course also considers how African Americans living in Sewanee challenged second-class citizenship and contributed importantly to the life of the university. Field trips and plenary lectures allow students to explore the region, engage in the practice of place-making, and synthesize knowledge across disciplines. Capstone projects provide opportunities for in-depth exploration. Open only to new first-year students.
