Revolutionary Paine: A Student-Curated Exhibit

Panelists and featured guests discuss history topics with Angela Oonk '94 in this webinar series. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie. All registrants will receive an email after the program with resources and a link to the recording.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense, first published on January 10, 1776, with only 1,000 copies, quickly became one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. Students in Revolutionary Political Thought in Early America and Beyond co-curated the exhibition Revolutionary Paine using materials from the Clements Library to explore its rapid and far-reaching impact.

Join Clements Librarian for Instruction and Engagement Maggie Vanderford and Professor Andy Murphy over Zoom for a panel discussion with the student curators of this exhibit.

Revolutionary Paine | On view noon–4 p.m., January 16–April 26
