CONFERENCE: NEW YORK CITY AND THE NEW DEAL
This day-long conference will address the original
New Deal, its rollbacks and revivals in the second
half of the twentieth century, and its potential as
a model for the future. The conference will consist
of four sessions. The Old New Deal will look at what
the New Deal accomplished in NYC and how it did so.
New Deal Downsides will examine the limitations of
the original New Deal, particularly in regard to race
and gender. The Slow Passing of the New Deal will
focus on attacks on and defenses of New Deal programs
from the late-'40s to the '90s. Finally, The New New
Deal will speculate on the degree to which a re-crafted
New Deal could serve as an organizing model for a
liberal comeback.
