In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell and ‘the end of history’ was proclaimed, with numerous proclamations that human development had reached its apotheosis with the triumph of the West. This panel discussion looks back to critically reevaluate this moment of apparent global liberation. Kirrily Freeman (SMU), Chair. Radhika Natarajan (Reed College), "'A great day for freedom': The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Rise of Neoliberalism in Thatcher's Britain".
