Douglas M. Sherry, a part-time instructor of sociology at Pennsylvania College of Technology, recently presented a paper at the Annual Conference of the Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association.
At the conference, held in New Brunswick, N.J., Sherry presented the paper "'Abiseeinyah Henry': Television's MASH and the End of the Vietnam War."
This month, he will present a paper titled "Framing Dissent: The Image of Political Militants in Films of the 1970s" at the Mid-Atlantic American Studies Association/Political Science Association Joint Conference in Harrisburg.
Both papers are part of a book manuscript Sherry is preparing on American culture in the 1970s.
