DIKES OF COURAGE: Martin Luther King, the Civil Rights Movement and the Aesthetics of Protest

We hope that the attached report gives insight into our experiences at the Dikes of Courage conference in Lisbon. For most of us this was our first experience presenting our research in an international setting, but I think it is safe to say it will not be our last. Our students and teaching staff hope to maintain connections to the fellow scholars that attended the conference and we look forward to building on our shared knowledge in the future.
