‘1968’ opened up an imaginative space beyond the local and national in addressing the structure of the global market. This workshop discusses the connection between ‘fair trade’ and 1968: rise of fair trade activism, the demise of its hopes for radically transforming the global marketplace, and the ways in which this initial impulse was transformed into new alternative visions of a fair global marketplace.

Speakers:
· Andrea Franc (OCEH/Basel)
· Peter van Dam (Amsterdam)
· Matthew Anderson (Portsmouth)
· Benjamin Möckel (Cologne)
· Tehila Sasson (Emory)
· Katharina Karcher (Cambridge)

The workshop is organised with kind support of the Oxford Centre for European History (OCEH) and the Netherlands Council for Scientific Research.
