CALL FOR PAPERS: Deadline: December 1, 2007. “The Legacy of 1968: An Interdisciplinary Conference” will be held at Chestnut Hill College (April 4-5, 2008) in Philadelphia. Keynote speakers will be Carole Fink, Ph.D. (Ohio State University) and Sheldon Hackney, Ph.D. (University of Pennsylvania). Proposals for papers or panels are invited on any issue related to 1968, a critical year for the United States and for the world. The Tet offensive, the My Lai massacre, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the Democratic Convention in Chicago, the election of Richard Nixon, and student protests were among the defining events of that year. The Prague Spring and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and student riots in Paris and elsewhere were among the worldwide expressions for change. Culturally, 1968 witnessed the publication of significant works in literature, music, and art. Contact: Donna Smith (smithdo@chc.edu)
