For the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Consortium will explore topics related to American independence and ideas of liberty and freedom in the broader Atlantic World. We are pleased to welcome Kathleen DuVal of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Zara Anishanslin of the University of Delaware as our keynote speakers. Presentations will examine the events of the Revolution that place American independence in broader, hemispheric, European, or colonial contexts, or that investigate the influence of American independence on later revolutionary movements.
