October 24, 2014 @ 12:00 am
This panel in the McCune Conference Room (HSSB 6020) will be moderated by History Professor Alice O’Connor.It is open to all — families welcome!
Many aspects of our modern world have their origin in the violent global rearrangements following World War I (1914-1918). UCSB history faculty will discuss the far-reaching legacies of the war in this, the centennial anniversary of its outbreak. Whether you are curious about the war’s continuing effects on the Middle East, the historical treatment of post-traumatic psychological injuries, the peace movement and the League of Nations, or even if you only want to know if you can believe what you see on Downton Abbey, please come and enjoy this stimulating program, based on a model pioneered in a popular UCSB history class. Reception to follow.
