Description
The UMBC History Department presents the 2015 Robert K. Webb Lecture
The Republic of the Unlettered: Were Slaves, Indians, and Women Enlightened?
Speaker: Bianca Premo (Associate professor of History, Florida International University)
This talk explores what it means to write an intellectual history of Enlightenment among those who could not read or write--namely enslaved people, women, and the indigenous inhabitants of colonial Spanish America, who sued in royal courts during the eighteen century.
This event is sponsored by the UMBC Department of History and the Dresher Center for the Humanities.
