11th Annual Social Change Colloquium: Documenting Punk

Description

Punk archives have been established at academic repositories and as a result, scholars and the public have access to stories that have before only been shared within the punk community. The colloquium aims to open a conversation about the documentation of punk. Keynote speaker Dr. Michael Stewart Foley is the author of Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and Front Porch Politics, The Forgotten Heyday of American Activism in the 1970s and 1980s. Foley is a professor of American Political Culture and Political Theory at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
