Remembering Muted Voices:

Conscience, Dissent, Resistance, and Civil Liberties in World War I through Today

October 19-22, 2017
National World War I Museum and Memorial Kansas City, MO, USA

On April 6, 1917 the USA entered World War I. A hundred years later in 2017 this Symposium remembers the muted voices of those who resisted the Great War and the implications of these stories for today.

We are now inviting paper proposals for the World War I Symposium. Details of the Call for Papers can be found at https://www.theworldwar.org/remembering-muted-voices. The deadline for paper proposals is March 20, 2017. Please send proposals to John Roth johndr@goshen.edu.
