ISP 211 Revolutions

3 hours 

There are moments in history when the world seems to get turned on its head. Individually or in groups people rise up against the status quo for a variety of reasons and in a variety of ways. Some revolutions are political; others are social, religious, artistic, or scientific. This course examines revolutions and revolutionaries in both the past and the present day through primary and secondary historical accounts, studies from the social sciences, and depictions in drama, film, literature and the fine arts.
