The German Student Movement and Memories of 1968 (online resource)

Dr Ingo Cornils, School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Leeds, UK

This is a portal for the scholarly community, offering selected links to online resources - in German and English - on the German Student Movement of the late 1960s. They should be used in conjunction with the growing body of research literature on the subject. I found them useful in teaching British undergraduates about the German Student Movement, as they illustrate the broad cultural impact of the GSM. Please contact me with suggestions or information about broken links.
