BU to host Global 1970s Conference
On November 10-11, an international gathering of scholars will gather for the first Global 1970s conference at Boston University. Part of a multi-year collaboration between Boston University, the University of Münster (Germany), and the University of Utrecht, the first of three planned conferences, “The Radical Decade in Global Perspective” will explore the experience of the 1970s as an era of radical political, social and cultural experimentation. Supported by grants from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research and the BU Center for the Humanities, the conference will take place in Photonics 901 and is open to the public.
