Tom Hayden, Author of "The Port Huron Statement" to Speak
Don’t miss this talk by this important figure in modern American history.
After over fifty years of activism, politics and writing, Hayden is still a leading voice for ending the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, for erasing sweatshops, saving the environment, and reforming politics through a more participatory democracy. He is the author of 19 books and hundreds of articles on a wide range of political topics, from the VietNam war, to civil rights, to environmental justice, the LA’s gang wars. His most recentbook is *The Long Sixties: From 1960 to Barack Obama.*
“Tom Hayden changed America”, wrote Nicolas Lemann in The Atlantic. He created “the blueprint for the Great Society programs”, said former presidential adviser Richard Goodwin. He was “the single greatest figure of the 1960s student movement” according to a New York Times book review. During his time as a state legislator in Sacramento, he was described as “the conscience of the Senate” by the Sacramento Bee’s political analyst. The Nation magazine recently named him one of the 50 greatest progressives
of the 20th century.

Seventy years ago in the midst of World War II, Thornton Wilder’s “groundbreaking satiric fantasy” premiered on Broadway with a cast including Talullah Bankhead and E.G. Marshall. The Skin of Our Teeth “follows the extraordinary Antrobus family down through the ages from the time of "The War," surviving flood, fire, pestilence, locusts, the ice age, the pox and the double feature, a dozen subsequent wars and as many depressions. Ultimately, they are the stuff of which heroes and buffoons are made. Their survival is a vividly theatrical testament of faith in humanity.”

Naming the Enemy Conference
Naming the Enemy: Anti-communism in Comparative Perspective from 1930s to the 1950s
This one-day workshop (with reception to follow) will focus on the character and uses of enemies in Europe and the United States in the interwar and early postwar period, with a particular focus on anti-communism. Much of the violence and conflict of the 1930s through the Cold War was fueled by the mobilization of populations against enemies of “the nation” or “the race.” Governments from dictatorships to democracies, from National Socialist Germany to the Vatican, raised the specter of civilization-destroying enemies to unite their populations and to rationalize a politics of hate and fear. The conference will bring
together scholars working on various aspects of anti-communism and the communist enemy and on the issue of enemy formation and enemy images. The proceedings will be comparative and transnational; with 10 papers covering anti-communism in the United States, Germany, Italy, the Vatican, and Brazil.
