Session Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel
These four papers interpret the work of 19th- and 20th-century American philosophers, poets, and political theorists: Du Bois, Douglass, James, and Whitman. This panel is structured around the question of what moral, rhetorical, and political techniques we find in American political thought for coping with ongoing legacies of slavery, war, and political conflict.
