While existing scholarship continues to largely concentrate on the U.S. and Western Europe, the initiative will focus on Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Topics range from the economy, decolonization, and higher education to forms of protest, transnational relations, and the politics of memory. Younger professors and graduate students from inside and outside NYU will present their work and established scholars from NYU and elsewhere will comment. The conference attempts to inspire a new scholarly reflection on the politics of memory and historiographical narratives of the “long sixties” in preparation for the 50th anniversary of 1968 which is decidedly global and offers in-depth perspectives on previously neglected geographical areas. Date: March 13-15, 2016 Venue: Room 1502, Academic Building, NYU Shanghai Sponsors: NYU Provost Global Research Institute & NYU Shanghai, Office of the Provost Conference Contact [email protected] REVISITING 1968 AND THE GLOBAL SIXTIES – PART 1 NYU SHANGHAI 1 REVISITING 1968 AND THE GLOBAL SIXTIES – PART 1 NYU SHANGHAI 2 Organizing Committee for Global 1968 Conference at Shanghai Chen Jian Chen Jian is Global Distinguished Professor of History at NYU Shanghai with an affiliated appointment at NYU.

    Mark H. Levine, Ph.D. 马克力文 Minzu University of China I am Mark Levine I am an American sociologist whose as an academic sociologist focused on social inequality, social movements and popular culture. Leaving the academic world in 1976 after completing my doctoral dissertation (from Bowling Green State University) on the rise of the Nazis in Germany in 1928, I became a “public sociologist.” From 1976-2005 I worked as a full-time volunteer labor and community organizer for organizations of poor workers struggling to change the conditions that made them poor. The combination of my academic background and my work as an organizer gave me a unique understanding the politics and economics of the United States, particularly as it relates to the American poor and working class. Teaching in China since 2005 After first going to Huai‟an in Jiangsu Province, because it was the home of Zhou Enlai, in 2007 I came to Beijing where I still teach at Minzu University of China in the School of Foreign Studies. In addition to Minzu University I have taught at … Huaiyin Teachers College Renmin University The Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Beijing Dance Academy, Beijing Foreign Studies University as well as a number of primary, middle, high schools and training centers. In my three decades as an organizer in the US, I was an invited lecturer at … Bowling Green State University (Bowling Green, OH) Brooklyn College (Brooklyn, NY) California State University – Fullerton California State University - Los Angeles California State University

Education: Ph.D., 1959, Yale University; B.A., 1955, Amherst College. SHORT BIOGRAPHY Edmund Phelps, the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics, is Director of the Center on Capitalism and Society at Columbia University. Born in 1933, he spent his childhood in Chicago and, from age six, grew up in Hastings-on Hudson, N.Y. He attended public schools, earned his B.A. from Amherst (1955) and got his Ph.D. at Yale (1959). After a stint at RAND, he held positions at Yale and its Cowles Foundation (1960 - 1966), a professorship at Penn and finally at Columbia in 1971. He has written books on growth, unemployment theory, recessions, stagnation, inclusion, rewarding work, dynamism, indigenous innovation and the good economy. His work can be seen as a lifelong project to put “people as we know them” into economic theory. In the mid-‘60s to the early ‘80s, beginning with the “Phelps volume,” Microeconomic Foundations of Employment and Inflation Theory (1970), he pointed out that workers, customers and companies must make many decisions without full or current information; and they improvise by forming expectations to fill in for the missing information.
