The du bois forum

The Du Bois Forum is a retreat for writers, scholars, and artists engaged in the Black intellectual and artistic traditions. The Forum was founded by Tufts University historians Kerri Greenidge and Kendra Field, and Du Bois biographer David Levering Lewis. Beginning in 2022, Du Bois Forum events have been made possible by the African American Trail Project at Tufts University, with the support of the Mellon Foundation, Great Barrington’s Du Bois Freedom Center, and Jacob’s Pillow. In 2024, we are thrilled to welcome Troutbeck and several founding university partners of the Third Amenia Gathering, including Williams College and Harvard University.
