In the fall semester of 2014, Booth Library will host a major exhibition and event series: “Revolutionary Decade: Reflections on the 1960s.” We invite you to join us as we take a fresh look at the achievements, tragedies, triumphs, extraordinary personalities, and everyday lives of average people during what was arguably one of the most turbulent and eventful decades of the 20th century. The library will present exhibits exploring aspects of this fascinating decade as Americans experienced it, including developments in the worlds of music, literature, visual arts, science and technology, politics and social movements.
We are seeking scholars from all disciplines interested in presenting perspectives on the 1960s through the eyes of their profession or field of study. Possible ways to participate include (but are by no means limited to):
* Debate
* Demonstration
* Exhibit co-curator
* Film moderator
* Lecture
* Panel discussion
* Performance
* Reading, prose or poetry
* Student presentations
We need to finalize all details for this series before the end of the spring semester, therefore I am asking for your ideas before April 25. If you are interested in participating or proposing a program for this series, please contact David Bell at dsbell@eiu.edu or 581-7547.
