HIST-396 The Age of Revolutions


(3 cr.)
This course explores the revolutionary movements that the spread across the Atlantic World from the 1770s to the early 1800s, a period some have called the “Age of Revolutions.”  Specifically, it will focus upon the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Haitian Revolution from a comparative perspective.  This approach will allow students to draw connections and understand how major philosophical, intellectual, and political movements of the era were shared between and shaped these three seemingly diverse revolutionary moments.  Focus will also be placed upon how these revolutionary movements challenged or reinforced contemporary understandings of race, gender, and class.
