The fourth in a special five-part series on generational consciousness and conflict.

 

In this episode, we examine Generation X – the generation of the End of History. How was this generation overshadowed by the Boomer's failures? In the Eastern Bloc, the fall of Soviet regimes was a traumatic moment – how did this shape consciousness? And how did the Iranian Revolution – and subsequent war – shape the political perspectives of Iranians?

 

Guests include:

Jennie Bristow, senior lecturer in sociology at Canterbury Christ Church University

Josh Glenn, semiotician, author, and publisher of HiLoBrow
