Social Change, Economic Upheavals: America in the 1970s
Summary
In the 1970s, America saw the rise of several new movements that changed society in ways still felt today. These included the environmental movement, antiwar clashes, oil crises, and the ongoing struggle for agency felt by marginalised groups across the country. This talk will explore contrasting perspectives of 1970s America, as both a continuation of the 1960s and a repudiation of the cultural shifts that marked the preceding decade.
