An Afternoon with Dr. Woody Register: Exploring the Roberson Project History isn’t just in the past, it shapes who we are and who we choose to become. On Sunday, September 14, 2025, from 4:00–5:00pm, Dr. Woody Register will lead a conversation about how one university is confronting its own history to build a more honest future. Light refreshments will be served. Dr. Register is the Francis S. Houghteling Professor of American History at the University of the South and founding director of the Roberson Project, a teaching-focused initiative launched in 2017 to examine Sewanee’s historical ties to slavery. Through deep research, public engagement, and innovative teaching, the project is reshaping how institutions reckon with the past. At the heart of the Roberson Project are four guiding commitments: Truth-Telling: Uncovering and telling the full story of Sewanee’s origins in a society rooted in slavery. Community: Working alongside descendants of the enslaved and the town’s Black community to recognize their vital place in Sewanee’s history. Innovation: Creating new ways to teach, research, and engage with the legacy of slavery. Leadership: Establishing Sewanee as a leader among universities confronting their historical ties to slavery.
