(this is technically our Monday post but we forgot to post it yesterday 🤫)
The History department is bringing in Professor Richard Bell from the University of Maryland as a speaker today.

Professor Bell will be discussing how the American Revolution unleashed chaos, opportunity, and transformation across six continents— from the sugar fields of the Caribbean to the court of the King of Mysore, from refugee camps on the Canadian frontier to political uprisings in Sierra Leone and Peru.
