“Lessons from the Revolutions of 1989 in East Central Europe” (A Symposium)
Friday, April 24, 2024
8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Pyle Center, 702 Langdon Street, Madison WI (Room TBA; please check electronic boards at the main entrance for room assignment.)
What lessons might be drawn—for us in the here and now—from studying the cultural space of pre-1989 (post-)totalitarian East Central Europe? How might dissidentism as practiced in that time and place help us better understand dissent as a general modern phenomenon? This one-day symposium will explore these questions. The event features presentations by ten scholars of the East Central European culture of dissent.
