In this episode, we’re joined by alumna and Alexander Hamilton expert Joanne Freeman ’84, Professor of American History at Yale University.
A scholar of political conflict, Freeman shares how conflict often led to physical violence from the founding fathers onward. She focuses much of her research on Alexander Hamilton, one of the nation’s first victims of political violence.
A fan of Hamilton way before the musical made its debut, Freeman tellsus how many times she’s seen the musical, what she thinks of it and how she got Lin-Manuel Miranda to attend her birthday party.
