Globalization: Impact on Peoples of the World
Keene State College Fourth Biennial World Affairs Symposium We live in an era of instant global communication, of multi-national businesses and trans-national media, all part of the trend called "globalization." More attention has been paid to the advantages of the "global village" than to its detrimental effects. In this symposium, Keene State College attempts to balance the discussion by bringing together a diverse group of speakers and performers from many nations and backgrounds to explore the critical issues of global health, justice, the environment, education, and community development. Led by such experts as Vandana Shiva, David Walton, and Amy Goodman, Symposium events will address the ethics of the global economy, particularly as it relates to the rights of workers and others in the developing world; the connection between the global economy and the spread and treatment of disease; an analysis of globalization in literature and film; and the impact of the global control of information on our thinking about current events and our identity as Americans and citizens of the world. All members of the campus community and the public are warmly invited to engage in this exploration. All events are free and open to the public. For information or to request accommodations for a disability, please call 603-358-2578 or -2899.
