Protest on the Page
A Conference of the Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture
University of Wisconsin-Madison
September 28-30, 2012
The Pyle Center
702 Langdon Street
Madison, WI
Protest has a long and varied tradition in America. The conference will feature papers focusing on authors, publishers and readers of oppositional materials, in all arenas from politics to literature, from science to religion. Regardless of the subject, conference presentations will help us to understand how dissent functions within print and digital cultures.
The keynote speaker will be Victor Navasky, Publisher Emeritus of The Nation and George T. Delacorte Professor in Magazine Journalism, Director of the Delecorte Center for Magazine Journalism, and Chair of the Columbia Journalism Review. Navasky has an understanding of dissent and its publications that has few peers.
