| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2897 This class will trace the historical evolution of the concept of rights in early modern Europe. We will explore the origins of notions of rights and consider whether rights were invented, as some historians claim—and if so, when. We will analyze how ideas about rights intersected with the histories of constitutionalism, colonialism, revolution, and liberalism. Additionally, we will examine competing theories of rights to understand which rights historical actors claimed, and whose rights they were.; Crosslisted: HIST, PEAC.; Pre-requisite(s): One prior course in history.; Enrollment Limit: 12.00 Social Science, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts), B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, A, B) |
