Fall 2021 // Presented by the UT Humanities Center

The aim of this seminar is to bring together faculty and advanced graduate students who share an interest in the “long eighteenth century” (1688 to 1815), a period framed by the Glorious Revolution in England that marks its beginning and the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions that signal its end. The core faculty group consists of five specialists from the Modern Foreign Languages Department (French and German), the English Department (British and American), and the History Department (German), but in the spirit of the rich interdisciplinarity inherent in Enlightenment studies, the goal of this group is to organize events of interest to a wide-range of additional faculty and students.
