Public Research Talk: Emancipating Ecology: The Emerson-Thoreau Fault Line and Why It Matters for the Climate Crisis — Russell C. Powell
Registration is required.
Please register to attend in person.
Please register to attend on Zoom.
Thoreau is a hero of environmental politics. Why isn't Emerson?
As ecological thought has increasingly emphasized particular places, histories, and forms of life, Thoreau has come to embody an ethic of attention to what resists universal abstraction. Yet climate change confronts us with injustices that extend beyond local contexts, making the abandonment of universality—and the emancipation it promises—a political liability.
Revisiting Emerson as a thinker of universality, this talk asks how environmental politics might meet the demands of justice while remaining faithful to particular places and concerns. Though Thoreau and Emerson represent different strands of the Transcendentalist legacy, both are essential to an environmental politics that is adequate to our historical moment.
Russell C. Powell is Research Affiliate for the Transcendentalism Initiative at the Center for the Study of World Religions.…

This workshop is currently full. Thank you for your interest! If you'd like to be added to the waitlist, please contact Laurie Sedgwick at ldsedgwick@hds.harvard.edu.
Registration was limited to 12 participants.
This workshop series meets on four consecutive Wednesdays—September 9, 16, 23, and 30—from 4:00–6:00 p.m. Because each session builds on the previous one, participants are expected to attend all four sessions.
When William Ellery Channing claimed in an 1828 sermon that “we are brought into harmony with the creation” in proportion to our pursuit of our own “likeness to God,” he could not have known that his theology would help inspire a literary tradition that continues to explore spiritual growth through encounters with the natural world. American nature writing developed some of its strongest roots in the ideas of Channing and the American Transcendentalists he influenced. Emerson explored selfhood and spirituality through nature, famously writing of standing in the woods and sensing that he was…

Public Research Talk: Transcendental Imagination: The Case for a New American Renaissance with Kristen Case
Registration is required.
Please register to attend in person.
Please register to attend on Zoom.
This talk explores the transcendentalist reimagining of sociality and temporality, aspects of human experience that underwent broad transformations in the late nineteenth century. In our own time, as we navigate unprecedented access to the globe and to one another while also experiencing ever-increasing loneliness and disconnection, the relationship between self and world is once more a site of contestation and cultural renegotiation.
At the same time, our hyperconnectivity means that our experience of time is ever more fragmented, accelerated, and homogenized. As human creativity and connection are threatened by AI and algorithmic determinism, the example of the transcendentalist writers can help us recommit to an imaginative reorganization of our experience.
Kristen Case is a poet and scholar whose books include American Pragmatism and Poetic Practice, Little Arias, Principles of Economics, Henry David…

Registration is required.
Please register to attend in person.
Carl Austin Hyatt uses classical black-and-white photography to explore the intersection of the human and natural worlds, creating images charged with emotional and eloquent beauty. Hyatt revisits the landscapes of his world—rocks, shorelines, tides, and horizons—knowing that perception is a living choice, created anew in each encounter.
His photographs, including images of road-salt piles resembling ancient mountains and sacred pyramids, record a visceral response to the world and suggest the revelation of ineffable truths that transcend the literal. As he explains, “There are things we all know but dismiss because we doubt ourselves. This is our condition. It has taken me years to trust what I know.”
Hyatt’s prints are held in numerous permanent collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Smithsonian Museum; the Currier Museum of Fine Arts; and private collections across the United States, Europe, and South America.

Online | Evolution of Spirituality Conference on Belonging: Practices of Inclusion in Spiritual Communities, the Academy, and Society
Please register to attend.
The Program for the Evolution of Spirituality's annual conference will take place on Zoom on September 21-22 and hybrid at Swartz Hall and on Zoom on September 24-26. The Program for the Evolution of Spirituality seeks to create a place of belonging for people who have been excluded from academic conversations because of their commitment to spiritual traditions that are small, new, marginalized, or stigmatized. Equally, we welcome those who have experienced or encountered harm in spiritual movements, and wish to explore the sources and implications of that harm.
Our fall 2026 conference will directly explore our founding commitment to inclusion and belonging. Presentations will include scholarly and artists talks, as well as workshops, on topics including the boundaries of inclusion, scholar-practitioner identities, ecospiritual belonging, spiritual authority, and practices of repair after harm.

Registration required.
Please register to attend in person.
Please register to attend on Zoom.
Franklin Sanborn lived two lives. He is best known as a Transcendentalist firebrand: a friend of Emerson and Thoreau, a member of John Brown’s famed “Secret Six,” and one of the first chroniclers of the Transcendentalist movement. Through his work, he helped preserve the spirit of Transcendentalism in the late nineteenth century. Yet he may have been even more influential as a leader of the American Social Science Association, the nation’s first social science organization, which played a major role in the professionalization of history, economics, and sociology.
These two worlds appear radically different: one defined by the exuberant romanticism and political idealism of the antebellum era, the other by the restrained scientific study of society. This talk asks whether these two sides of Sanborn can be reconciled. In doing so, it considers how the spirit of Transcendentalism may have evolved and survived in the…

Public Research Talk: A Transcendentalist Peace: American Pacifism from Lydia Maria Child to Jane Addams
Registration is required.
Please register to attend in person.
Please register to attend on Zoom.
In 1839, abolitionist Lydia Maria Child called the first Peace Convention in Boston “unquestionably the greatest event of the nineteenth century.” “Posterity will marvel,” she wrote, “at the early adoption of such transcendental principles.” Seventy-five years later, Jane Addams honed transcendentalist ideas into a theory of pacifism that Child would have recognized—one built on moral self-reliance, faith in individual transformation, and a dedication to justice through applied democracy. These women's ideas, and the example of their lives, are deeply relevant today as we struggle, in a war-torn world, to imagine a lasting peace.
Lydia Moland is the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor of Philosophy at Colby College. She is the author of Lydia Maria Child: A Radical American Life (2022), a biography of abolitionist Lydia Maria Child. Her writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington…

Imaginative Seeing in Goethe, Coleridge, and Emerson: Pathways to a Phenomenological Ecology — Ryan Shea
Registration is required.
Please register to attend in person.
Please register to attend on Zoom.
In “The Poet,” Emerson said that imagination is “a very high sort of seeing.” This talk explores the imagination as an organ of direct intuitive perception that might become the foundation for a new phenomenological science of ecology. The first part explores the historical and cultural resonances among conceptions of the imagination in German Idealism, British Romanticism, and American Transcendentalism, as represented by Goethe, Coleridge, and Emerson. The second part engages the audience in interactive imaginative exercises that invite participants to see new things for themselves.
Ryan Shea is a full-time researcher and educator at The Nature Institute in Ghent, New York. Previously, he taught environmental philosophy, philosophy of science, interdisciplinary humanities, and nature writing at Providence College for eight years. He is also a doctoral researcher with MESH (Multidisciplinary Environmental…
