Sixties Generations Conference

This annual three-day event is sponsored by Viet Nam Generation, Inc., a nonprofit literary and educational corporation dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary work on the Sixties in general and the Viet Nam war in particular. Sixties Generations panels are assembled around topic areas, featuring work in a variety of disciplines. We place scholarly papers beside creative works, historians beside literary critics, and activists beside academics and artists. Our intention is to create an atmosphere of collegiality, foster fruitful collaborations, and provide the opportunity to present and to hear quality work in presented in a relaxed environment. To preserve the collegial nature of our enterprise, we do not designate keynote speakers or pay "star" presenters to participate. Each Sixties Generations presenter is motivated by a sincere interest in the field. Also in keeping with the collegial spirit, we do grant fee waivers and help to arrange alternative accommodations for those who otherwise cannot afford to attend.
