The Age of Revolutions
This course examines the social, political, and economic revolutions that shook the Early Modern Atlantic World (c. 1450-1850) through the lenses of race, class and gender, and from the perspectives of those traditionally written out of the historical narrative. Focusing on topics of power, rights, inclusion, exclusion, and agency, the course will examine the ways in which common people shaped and experienced moments of upheaval and transformation. By exploring the histories and historiographies of revolutions, the course will consider the ways in which marginalized groups impacted and were impacted by existing and emerging structures of inequality, privilege, oppression, and opportunity.
