Hosted by the Center for European Studies

2018 marks the fiftieth anniversary of 1968, a high-water mark of postwar social activism in Europe. But that high point did not last long; instead, 1968 was quickly cast as the swansong of traditional social movement mobilization. This conference examines the remarkable efflorescence of grassroots politics and direct democratic action after '68, reconsidering interpretations of political organization and leadership; the role of the global and the local; and the new forms and subjects of political action. Panels run from 10:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., followed by a keynote address from 6:30–8:00 p.m.
