Professor Steven Pincus is the Thomas E. Donnelly Professor of British History at the University of Chicago. He specializes in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British and European history.
In his talk on the Irish Revolution of 1782, Pincus will contextualize the events of that year within the context of the Age of Revolutions. One focus will be the social, cultural, and ideological similarities between Ireland and America at this time, and why Americans severed ties with the British Empire while the Irish did not.
All are welcome.
