RETHINKING THE LEGACY OF 1968
ONE DAY CONFERENCE
A day of discussions and debates
bringing together different generations of
writers, researchers and activists to consider the political and cultural legacies of
1968, their bearing on the future prospects for a more democratic, equal
and participatory society and for modes of research in the arts, humanities and social sciences
that can underpin it. We aim to rekindle the intellectual ferment of that time but focussed around contemporary issues.
