Program runs from 9:00-13:30, with an 8:30 breakfast and 12:30 lunch included.

Please join us for the first meeting of the European Colloquium. We envision this colloquium as a space of interdisciplinary conversation, in which graduate students and faculty from both Pitt and CMU will come together to discuss current research on European topics.

Organized as a monthly brown bag event, we hope that everyone will bring not only their lunch, but also their questions and comments to what will hopefully become an ongoing conversation.

Join us for a screening of “Confrontation: Paris 1968” and a conversation with one of the filmmakers, Pitt’s own Emeritus Professor of History, Seymour Drescher.

Featuring:
Anne Knowles (University of Maine), Ruth Mostern (History), Karl Grossner (Stanford), and Ryan Horne (World History Center)

Presented by the World History Center

Professor North, currently a teaching fellow at UC Santa Barbara, is Chair of Modern History at the Moritz Arndt University Greifswald, Director of the Graduate Program “Contact Area Mare Balticum: Foreignness and Integration in the Baltic Region” and Director of the Interdisciplinary Research Training Group “Baltic Borderlands: Shifting Boundaries of Mind and Culture in the Borderlands of the Baltic Sea Region.”

Historical Geographer Anne Knowles is co-founder of the Holocaust Geographies Collaborative http://holocaustgeographies.geo.txstate.edu/and a specialist in Historical GIS, Geovisualization, and Digital Humanities, with topical interest in intersections of economy, technology, and culture and their expression in the landscape. She will be Visiting Short-Term Fellow at Pitt's Humanities Center: see Humanities Center calendar for further events and workshops during her visit.

UCIS Center Directors will lead a discussion informed by the events in the series and their own research and reflections. Please join us and take part in this public conversation about the global legacies of 1968.

The multiple uprisings of 1968 challenged authorities worldwide, and led to many reforms, but the insurgents misunderstood the nature of their insurgencies, and this misunderstanding drastically limited their effects. They did not add up to a revolution. Rather, in their multiplicity, they were something far more complicated and ambiguous: the culmination of an era of incremental progressive change, a signal of the collapse of conventional liberalism, and a prologue to deep cultural changes as well as grim backlash

Speakers will include: Abe Newman, Frederic Merand, Matthias Matthijs, and Rachel Epstein
