Please join the State Constitutions Lab on Thursday February 26 @ 1:00 PM (Eastern US) for a Zoom seminar with Silvana R. Siddali, [St. Louis University, to discuss her paper "Fire Eaters, Revolutionaries, and the Rule of Law: Nineteenth Century State Constitutions in Comparative Perspective."
[Professor Siddali's] area of specialization includes constitutional, legal, and political history of the United States, in particular, the role of human rights in the development of democratic and judicial institutions. Her current book, Transatlantic Constitution-making: Struggles over Democracy, the Rule of Law, and Human Rights, 1820-1870 is under contract at Johns Hopkins University Press and focuses on nineteenth-century transatlantic political communities that were connected through an exchange of ideas, trade, migrations, and technological innovations.
This meeting will be held on Zoom and a copy of the paper will be sent to all who RSVP here.
