The History Research Seminar welcomes Dr Kelly Summers of MacEwan University, Canada, to present her current research.
Dr. Summers specializes in the history of Old Regime and revolutionary France. In both the classroom and the archive, she seeks to explore the relationship between Enlightenment ideas and the outbreak and course of the French Revolution. Her research on revolutionary migration examines issues that still resonate today: how individual liberties and national security conflict during times of political upheaval; how revolutions end; and how, in their aftermath, divided populations might be reconciled. She is currently completing a book entitled The Great Return: Émigrés, Refugees, and Revolution in France, 1789-1815. Based on archival research in Paris and London, it will for the first time chart the complete life cycle of emigration, refuge, and re-migration during the French revolutionary era.
