A day-long exploration of 19th Century Literature and History
The Stowe Symposium is the Stowe Center for Literary Activism’s annual gathering to explore current Harriet Beecher Stowe scholarship. The symposium focuses on Stowe in historical context and in conversation with other writers and thinkers of the 19th century though today.

The Stowe Symposium offers lectures, panels, and a keynote speaker. We gather scholars and enthusiasts for a day-long exploration of 19th Century Literature and History in partnership with Trinity College and the New England Quarterly.
The Stowe Center also offers an annual award for best new scholarship on Stowe.
