# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Intellectual Origins of American Slavery: An Author Discussion Featuring Kyle Harper
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The period from 1550 to 1700 was critical in the spread of slavery across the English Atlantic world. During this time, the discourse revolved around one question: How could free persons be made into slaves? English authors found answers to this question in a tradition of ideas that stretched back to the ancient world, where they were most powerfully expressed in Roman law. These ideas, in turn, became the basis for the earliest defenses of American slavery. This is an eloquent account of the moral logic that propelled the development of an immoral institution. 

Mr. Harpham is Assistant Professor in the Department of Classics and Letters and Wick Cary Assistant Professor in the Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage at the University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on how ideas about slavery, freedom, and race relate to enslavement and resistance across the Atlantic world.
