CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is scheduled to give a series of lectures at Harvard University.

Rice is slated Tuesday to give her first talk on American foreign policy and the black experience. She's also scheduled to give foreign policy lectures Wednesday and Thursday at Harvard.

The lectures are part of the school's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, Kennedy School of Government, Institute of Politics and JFK Jr. Forum.

Recently, the former Bush aide has been promoting her new book, "Condoleezza Rice: A Memoir of My Extraordinary, Ordinary Family and Me."

Rice was secretary of state from 2005 to 2009.
