- Halliwell co-conceived and co-edited this interdisciplinary volume with Nick Witham, co-writing (50%) the 4,200-word introduction, solely writing (100%) his 8,500-word chapter (# 7), working closely with 13 contributors. The research began in 2013-14 when Halliwell was John Maynard Keynes US Studies Visiting Professor at University College London, and Witham was also a UCL visiting fellow. The volume reappraises the historical, political and cultural importance of 1968 from a fifty-year vantage point to help an international readership better understand the dynamics of contemporary protest movements such as Occupy and Black Lives Matter. As a facet of the volume's underpinning research, five contributors (including Halliwell) formed a landmark roundtable at the joint British Association for American Studies/European Association for American Studies conference held at KCL and UCL in April 2018, to mark fifty years since Martin Luther King Jr's assassination.
