Sue will talk about the events and politics of the sit ins, the role of women (pre-the watershed moment of 70\/71) and how participation and organisation worked. Kevin will reflect on his own journey through 1968 via student politics, including the sit-in, and what similar experiences might have meant for the evolution of the left.<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_9183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9183 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Occupation-of-Senate-House-U-of-Bristol-March-2018-300x176.png\" alt=\"University building with student occupation banners\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Occupation-of-Senate-House-U-of-Bristol-March-2018-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Occupation-of-Senate-House-U-of-Bristol-March-2018-100x59.png 100w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Occupation-of-Senate-House-U-of-Bristol-March-2018-270x159.png 270w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Occupation-of-Senate-House-U-of-Bristol-March-2018-150x88.png 150w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Occupation-of-Senate-House-U-of-Bristol-March-2018.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Occupation of the University of Bristol&#8217;s Senate House in March 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Watch this talk<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RH6GYYBkjtM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the winter of 1968 Bristol students occupied Senate House for 10 days.
