Black 1968 Presents: Virtual Brainstorming Workshop & Call for Papers
Topics like the civil rights movement, African liberation, the black power movement, freedom and Black liberation schools, and student activism will most likely appear in our collection, but the editors of Black 1968 also strongly welcome papers that explore the role of peoples of African descent in the larger events of the era like the student strikes, cold war controversies, liberation movements, and other key events of the period. We also encourage submissions that use innovative and unconventional methodologies to better understand these complex global and local interactions. What can the study of food, music, literature, film, gender, material culture, medicine, and incarceration tell us about Black 1968 that archives and other more conventional sources cannot?
To respond to this call for papers, please send a one page paper proposal and CV to the address below by 15 January 2021. The conference(s) to discuss these papers and select chapters for the book will most likely be held on Zoom in the late spring and/or early fall of 2021.
