2014 Focus on the Humanities Distinguished Faculty Lecture:

Craig Werner

Afro-American Studies, UW-Madison

 

A scholar of literature, music, and cultural history, Craig Werner lays out a set of guiding principles for a new history of the nineteen sixties, a mythologized decade that is too often reduced to a set of contradictory ideological tropes.

This event is co-sponsored by the Institute for Research in the Humanities and the Center for the Humanities.
