Peace Activism during the "War on Terrorism"
Speaker: Eric Swank
Eric Swank -- a professor of sociology at Morehead State University and researcher who has published on media portrayals of peace movements and attitudes of Gulf War protesters -- will discuss his current research on what motivates anti-war activists. His talk will explore the ways in which collective identities, political conversations, interpretations of the military, outlooks on authorities, and family upbringings influence the desire to protest the "War on Terrorism."
