Dr. Doug Mishler – War and a Question of Rights

This workshop will explore how a variety of wars from the Revolution to the war on terror have affected the rights of individual Americans. From shaping the Bill of Rights in the 18th century, to freedom of speech during WWI, internment in WWII, Cold War hysteria and loyalty oaths, to taking off your shoes to get on a plane, we explore the variety of rights issues some major, some rather silly.
