Censer, Roger Chartier. The Revolution of was the model in modern history for the way social and political revolution depended for their coming into being, efficacy, and effects on the rise of new symbols, social practices, and other forms of culture. The revolutionaries, however, rejected their initial ideals when the new government began to use violence and terror to maintain its hold on power. Yet, that said, even way back at the time of the bicentennial in , a good number of historians had a strong sense that there was also something problematic about this way of making sense of the French Revolution.

The revolution did not suddenly change France from a society where position and power depended on birth, custom, and being obsequious to the king, nor did it usher in an entirely new era of government being run by skilled professionals instead of noble amateurs.

Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 279 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.

"Lest They Perish": The Armenian Genocide and the Making of Modern Humanitarian Media in the U.S., 1915-1925 Abstract Between celebrity spokesmen and late night informercials, international humanitarian aid organizations use multiple media strategies to generate public interest in their programs. Though this humanitarian media has seemingly proliferated in the past thirty years, these publicity campaigns are no recent phenomenon but one that emerged from the World War I era. "Lest They Perish" is a case study of the modernization of international humanitarian media in the U.S. during and after the Armenian genocide from 1915 to 1925. This study concerns the Near East Relief, an international humanitarian organization that raised and contributed over $100,000,000 in aid to the Armenians during these years of violence. As war raged throughout Europe and Western Asia, American governmental propagandists kept the public invested in the action overseas. Private philanthropies were using similar techniques aimed at enveloping prospective donors in "whirlwind campaigns" to raise funds.

  • Louis XVI and the French Revolution, 1789–1792
    Louis XVI and the French Revolution, 1789–1792 The experience, and failure, of Louis XVI’s short-lived constitutional monarchy of 1789–1792 deeply influenced the politics and course of the French Revolution. The dramatic breakdown of the political settlement of 1789 steered the French state into the decidedly stormy waters of political terror and warfare on an almost global scale. This book explores how the symbolic and political practices which under- pinned traditional Bourbon kingship ultimately succumbed to the radical challenge posed by the Revolution’s new ‘proto-republican’ culture. While most previous studies have focused on Louis XVI’s real and imagined foreign counter-revolutionary plots, Ambrogio A. Caiani examines the king’s hitherto neglected domestic activities in Paris. Drawing on previously unexplored archival source material, Caiani provides an alternative reading of Louis XVI in this period, arguing that the monarch’s symbolic behaviour and the organisation of his daily activities and personal household were essential factors in the people’s increasing alienation from the newly established consti- tutional monarchy.

ABSTRACT This thesis intends to investigate how educated British women travellers challenged conventional female roles and how they participated in the political culture in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era. Part One will discuss those who tried hard to challenge or to correct traditionally-defined femininity and to prove themselves useful in their society. Many of them negotiated with and broadened the traditionally defined femininity in this age. Part Two will take Burke and Wollstonecraft’s debate as the central theme in order to discuss chronologically the British women travellers’ political responses to the Revolution controversy. When the Revolution degenerated into Terror and wars, the Burkean view became the main strand of British women travellers’ political thinking. Under the threat of Revolutionary France and during the Napoleonic Wars, a popular conservatism and patriotism developed in Britain.

  • A Brief Moment in the Sun: Francis Cardozo and Reconstruction in South Carolina
    A Brief Moment in the Sun: Francis Cardozo and Reconstruction in South Carolina Neil Kinghan Institute of the Americas, University College London This dissertation is submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 I, Neil Kinghan, confirm that the work presented in this dissertation is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the dissertation. Abstract This dissertation examines the life and career of Francis Lewis Cardozo, the first African American to win election to state-wide office in the United States, in April 1868. He served as Secretary of State, then as State Treasurer, for South Carolina from 1868 to 1877. He played a significant role in developing a new state constitution, in promoting land reform and public education and in securing financial stability for South Carolina. Unlike many of his peers, he was an honest and effective office holder, described by a local white newspaper as “the faithful one among the faithless many.” For that reason, the white Democratic government, returning to power after Reconstruction, prosecuted him on a trumped-up charge of fraud. They secured his conviction and, briefly, his imprisonment. Condemning him proclaimed the disgrace of Reconstruction as a whole. Cardozo was also a successful educator, at Saxton School in Charleston, between 1865 and 1868, later as Principal of the M Street High School in Washington, after his pardon and release from prison. In both schools, Cardozo’s purpose was to show that African American children could succeed on the same terms as white if given the opportunity.
