This federal Project Grant award, valued at $190,682.00, was made by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163). The award will support a 3-week residential institute at Georgetown University from June 16 to July 4, 2025 on the topic of "Slavery and Early Modern Philosophy." The institute aims to facilitate philosophical discussions about slavery in Europe and North America during the 17th and 18th centuries, an area that has been largely overlooked in the field of philosophy. The institute will have 25 participants and 6 faculty visitors, providing an in-depth exploration of this important topic. The goal is to bring these philosophical debates about slavery into mainstream philosophy research and teaching.
