New World Coming - The Sixties and the Shaping of Global Consciousness

An Interdisciplinary Conference at Queen's University
Kingston Ontario
13-16 June, 2007

Join Amiri Baraka, Varda Burstyn, Roman de la Campa, Alice Echols, Van
Gosse, Jean-Marc Piotte, Sheila Rowbotham and many more.

Scholars in a wide variety of disciplines, from diverse theoretical and
geographical backgrounds, have begun a major reassessment of the
experience, meaning, and importance of 'The Sixties.' Central to this
rethinking has been a recognition of the international nature of Sixties
protests, and the global circulation of politics and culture in the
post-1945 period.  This international and  interdisciplinary conference
will bring together scholars working on topics as diverse as the New
Left, Third World decolonization and liberation movements, the politics
of sex and race, and cultural studies, in the hopes of  fostering a
dialogue on the interconnected nature, and present day legacy, of the
various forms of culture and movements which characterized "The 'Sixties.'

  We encourage papers on the following themes:
-decolonization, anti-imperialism, and international solidarity movements
-environmental consciousness and politics
-the New Left, the New Right, and New Social Movements
-sexual politics and gender relations
-politics of race and racism
-student and youth movements
-media, music and film
-cultures and counter-cultures

We welcome individual submissions, panels and round-tables.  Please send
a 300 word abstract and a short (one page) C.V. by the 31st of August,
2006, to:
