Closing Public Session: Conceptualizing a Twentieth Century Age of Revolutions
March 14, 2018 In our last public event, we will have a conversation between scholars of the late 18th and early 19th century “age of revolutions” and scholars of the twentieth century “third world revolutions.” The focus of this panel is the question of what is at stake in defining a variety of “age of revolutions,” and the conceptual differences and similarities between these two crucial revolutionary epochs.
