Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course explores the intertwined histories of three revolutions that changed the world: the French, Haitian, and American revolutions. We will learn about old regime societies and states in Europe, empires and colonization, politics, social movements, the slave trade, racism, and the role of ideas in sparking revolutions and carrying them forward into the future. Throughout the course we will examine large scale social, material, and political forces, as well as the individuals and communities that created or resisted revolutionary change.

She is truly such a kind human being who is very passionate about the subjects she teaches. She is always willing to help students. The class itself is pretty light with short readings and in-class discussions.
