Lectures – Iris de Rode

Lectures & Conferences

I have delivered over 250 international lectures on topics related to my research, exploring the many dimensions of Franco-American exchanges—from military strategy to intellectual, scientific, and economic interactions. My lectures cover:

  • François-Jean de Chastellux and his role in the Franco-American alliance
  • The Military Enlightenment and its impact on 18th-century warfare
  • The transatlantic exchange of ideas, science, and trade between France and America
  • The broader context of the Enlightenment and its influence on the Age of Revolutions
  • The French role in the American Revolution—beyond the battlefield

Through these talks, I aim to provide a multifaceted perspective on the transatlantic world of the 18th century, shedding light on the individuals, ideas, and alliances that shaped both the American and French Revolutions.
