Hello again everyone,
The Conversation is proud to announce that our podcast Heat and Light has launched its first two episodes, and they’re now available on the podcasting platform of your choice (see below).
We’ve put a lot of work into this series and we’re so glad we get to share these scholarly takes on the pivotal year 1968 with you.
In episode one - Revolution Starts on Campus
Stefan Bradley focuses in on the occupation of Columbia University where student acitivists were pitted against an administration seeking to build a new gymnasium that would displace local residents. Also interviewed is Michael Kazin of Georgetown University, a former SDS leader who participated in the student uprisings of 1968.
In episode two - Fear of a Non-Nuclear Family
Natasha Zaretsky of Southern Illinois University leads us on an exploration of how concerns about the decline of the American family, influenced by anxieties about the rise of two-earner families, the loss of jobs to globalization, and America’s declining global hegemony led to the rise of political anger, “aggrieved nationalism,” and the rise of modern conservatism.
