It originated in a Research Network supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK) in 2022-23. This brought together scholars of different aspects of the \u2018age of revolutions\u2019. The project continues with a special issue of the <em>Journal of World History<\/em> to be published in autumn 2026, a research group on the Iberian World, and further discussion events.<\/h5><h5 style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px;\"><br \/>The project asks two main questions. First, what are the contours of the \u2018age of revolutions\u2019, in space and areas of life? Originally referring to political and economic changes in the North Atlantic c. 1750-1850, the term \u2018age of revolutions\u2019 has come to be applied to an increasingly global range of locations, and across intellectual, cultural, scientific, and religious as well as political and economic history. Yet this expansion has not generally been accompanied by a re-examination of the conceptual framing of a \u2018revolutionary age\u2019. We therefore aim, initially, to bring historians with an interest in the age of revolutions, working on a wide variety of geographies and through a range of disciplinary approaches, into dialogue and debate with each other.\u00a0<\/h5><h5 style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px;\">\u00a0<br \/>Second, we hope to move from this question to consider the nature of change in the \u2018age of revolutions\u2019. Is a single coherent explanation of a \u2018revolutionary age\u2019 possible? What were the ruptures and continuities? Should we think of uneven patterns of change in different spheres of human activity across time and space? In this second phase of the project, we will also consider parallels between 1750-1850 and the overlapping crises and rapid changes which we face in the 21st century.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-67ec3c1 elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"67ec3c1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b0d8528\" data-id=\"b0d8528\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8facba6 elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8facba6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-facb5c5\" data-id=\"facb5c5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a2d3905\" data-id=\"a2d3905\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a3b0f43\" data-id=\"a3b0f43\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About us Reframing the Age of Revolutions, 1750-1850 Reframing the Age of Revolutions is an ongoing project on the \u2018age of revolutions\u2019 of c. 1750-1850.
