Revolutionary Networks Talk

The power of the press has shaped political ideology for centuries.  During the American Revolution, printed material and the artisans we know as printers, used their trade to directly shape Revolutionary ideology and the concept of mass mobilization.  Joseph Adelman, Ph.D. will present on his book “Revolutionary Networks” to show how printers balanced their own political beliefs and interests alongside the commercial interests of their businesses, and how they all contributed to the Revolution and the birth of the United States.

Joseph Adelman, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of History at Framingham State University.  He earned his B.A. and M.A. from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from John’s Hopkins University.
