The Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition
США
Добавлен 6 апр 2018
The Gilder Lehrman Center (GLC) for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at The MacMillan Center at Yale University. The GLC strives to make a vital contribution to the understanding of slavery and its role in the development of the modern world. While the Center’s primary focus has been on scholarly research, it also seeks to bridge the divide between scholarship and public knowledge by opening channels of communication between the scholarly community and the wider public. In collaboration with secondary schools, museums, parks, historical societies, and other related institutions, the Center facilitates a locally rooted understanding of the global impact of slavery.
