Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This colloquium will survey some of the greatest works, both classic and recent, in the history of North America before around 1850. More than that, we will put that continent in an Atlantic context, connecting its story with Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We will pay particular attention to processes of enslaved and free migration, the formation of empires, and the transatlantic movement of ideas and political movements. Students will have the option of writing a seminar paper based on original research.
