Institute of American and Canadian Studies / Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Project No. 19202024 The Japanese Association for American History/Japanese Association for Contemporary Historical Studies Rethinking the Global Sixties from Transnational and Inter-Group Perspectives

The interpretation of the 1960s had been dichotomous as “the era of great change” or “the era of great disturbance”. Now, focusing on the aspects of transnational linkage and intergroup negotiations of the sixties movements, this symposium reassess the 1960’s and seeks to provide a synthetic view of the sixties from both a U.S. and global perspective.
