Senior History Major Standing.
This interdisciplinary colloquium will use 1968 to explore the intersection of memory, popular culture, history and radical politics. We address political and social unrest during that year in the United States, Northern Ireland/Britain and Czechoslovakia. This will be done by addressing the Black Civil Rights movement and anti-Vietnam protests in the United States, the campaign for Civil Rights and outbreak of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the attempt by Czechoslovakia to embrace political reform and socialism with a human face. Students will read autobiography and commentary by figures including Tim OBrien, Bernadette Devlin, Angela Davis and Vaclav Havel.
