HONR 2220 - History of Revolutions

4 credit hours
The first part of this course will compare the revolutions in England, France and the Atlantic World in the 17^th and 18^th centuries order to critique theories of revolution that have long dominated the discourse about these events. With this theoretical underpinning this course will then examine case studies of revolutionary responses to industrialization, political underrepresentation and colonialism in the 19^th century. This course concludes with an examination of the extent to which the Russian Revolution represents a new model of revolution in the 20^th C.
