Dear colleagues, Please join us for “Between Hope and Disillusion: 1989 30 Years On,” a panel that will cover the momentous year and reflect on its legacy. The event is free and open to the public.     Monday, December 2 | 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. Humanities Gateway 1030   The year 1989 was a watershed moment in world history: Communist parties lost their grip on power across Eastern Europe, helping to mobilize national movements in the Soviet Union and contributing to its collapse two years later. In China a similar challenge to the hegemony of its communist party instead ended with a bloody confrontation and massacre of protesters near Tiananmen Square. On the other side of the globe, 1989 marked the end of the rule of the Western-backed dictator of Chile, Augusto Pinochet, while in South Africa the new government of F. W. de Klerk was forced to begin to dismantle Apartheid. This was a year of mass uprisings and renewed hope for democratic change. How have the events of 1989 shaped our current world? How have the hopes of this year fared over the three subsequent decades? In short, what of 1989 is worth commemorating today? Join us to mark the thirtieth anniversary of this momentous year and to reflect on its legacy.   Speakers:   Tyrus Miller, dean, School of Humanities Laura Mitchell, associate professor of history Susan Morrissey, professor of history Heidi Tinsman, professor and chair of history Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Chancellor’s Professor of history   Questions and requests for reasonable accommodations may be directed to: Samantha Engler, englers@uci.edu
