Description
PETER CONN, MORRIS DICKSTEIN, GARY GIDDINS, MOLLY HASKELL, ALICE KESSLER-HARRIS
Monday September 21st, 2009 6:30 pm, Elebash Recital Hall
In today’s economic climate, easy comparisons to the Great Depression abound. But what is the legacy of the Great Depression? While scholars regularly examine the economic and social history of the 1930s, the rich cultural production of the period is often neglected. Join a panel of distinguished scholars and critics for a timely discussion about the great writers, artists, and filmmakers who documented and interpreted the period. Participants include Morris Dickstein, author of the recently published Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression; Peter Conn, author of The American 1930s: A Literary History; Molly Haskell, author of From Reverence to Rape: the Treatment of Women in the Movies; and Alice Kessler-Harris, author of In Pursuit of Equity: How Gender Shaped American Economic Citizenship. Moderated by Gary Giddins, author of Visions of Jazz: The First Century.
