About This Podcast

Spring 1970. Turmoil and tension grip the United States. With the Vietnam War raging, young Americans—on campuses nationwide and at the University of Iowa—are rising in protest. "A Campus in Conflict" traces the roots of activism at Iowa, where students grappled with conscience, conflict, and change. Drawing on firsthand accounts and archival material, this limited series explores how a quiet campus became a stage for resistance—and what that legacy means today. Podcasts by undergraduate students in Iowa's School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
