Solution-Based Research to Address Disparities in Precision Cancer Health
Equity in precision cancer health, defined here as equitable access to inclusive cancer risk assessment, cancer risk reduction/management, and risk-appropriate cancer healthcare from prevention through survivorship, is critical for addressing broader population cancer disparities. Specifically, we describe the impact of the Illinois Cancer Health Equity Research (I-CHER) Center on precision cancer health equity, including how the Center cumulativ…

Social Rights
This chapter dismantles the long-standing narrative that social rights only emerged after civil and political rights, as a response to socialist critiques of liberalism. The foundations for such rights extend back to medieval Christian laws governing charity. It was the economic theories of the eighteenth century that secularized justifications for the “rights” of the neediest. French revolutionaries adopted these arguments, linking social rights…
The Cambridge History of Rights
The age of Enlightenment and revolutions produced some of our best-known declarations of rights, but they did not create the idea of rights. Writers during this age did such a good job at declaring rights that many historians and politicians later believed that they invented them. The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of Rights shows that the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are better understood as a time of transformation, extending rig…

Abstract and embodied
The political economy of the French Revolution struggled to reconcile the promises of economic abstraction and the challenges of embodying wealth. In their attempts to realize these dual aims, revolutionaries drew not only on Enlightenment ideas about laissez-faire but also on an economic theology of money and consumption with roots in alchemy and the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist. Both strains of thought had radicalizing effects. Proponent…
Colin Jones
Colin Jones is one of the most prolific and wide-ranging historians of France today. In the more than twenty books and sixty articles he has published thus far in his career, he has considered both Paris and the provinces; the lives of ordinary people and those of elites; social practices and material culture as well as discourses and the emotions. His work spans the early modern and modern periods, and the themes he has treated run the gamut fro…
Social Rights and the Politics of Obligation in History
Why the neglect? Social rights and French Revolutionary historiography
Despite the rise of ‘human rights’ histories in recent decades, the subset of social rights has been largely neglected. To the degree that social rights—to subsistence, work and education—are acknowledged, they tend to be treated as ‘second-generation rights’—as mid-twentieth-century additions to the corpus of civil and political rights stretching back to the eighteenth century. This article shows that debates over social rights also stretch back…
Capitalism's Alter Ego
This article traces the concept of reciprocity from its emergence in French philosophy during the Enlightenment to its recent growth in the humanities and social sciences. After charting the term's accelerated use in French and English in the modern period, the article shows how its meaning has continually wavered between exchange equivalence (barter) and generosity and obligation (the gift, the Golden Rule). During the Enlightenment, these meani…
France and the Age of Revolution
In this collection of essays (some previously published), William Doyle reaffirms his stance as a revisionist historian of the French Revolution, for whom events and circumstances are the chief drivers of history. Having demolished Marxist ‘class determinism’ in 1980 with The Origins of the French Revolution (rev. ante, xcviii [1983], 460), he now deploys the same hard-nosed empiricism against ‘intellectual’ and ‘cultural’ strands of post-revisio…

La liberté de la presse selon les cahiers de doléances de 1789
Fondée sur l'analyse des revendications contenues dans plus de 500 cahiers de doléances,cette étude réexamine l'importance accordée à la liberté de la presse en fonction d'un élément jusqu'à présent trop négligé: le désir majoritairement exprimé à la veille de la Révolution d'encadrer cette liberté par des limites juridiques précises. Les acteurs prérévolutionnaires étaient certes favorables à la suppression de toute censure préalable, mais ils s…
