Small Culture, Small Community: Survival in the Global Economy
A Social Sciences Today Forum
Tuesday, November 15th, 6:30-8:00pm in Hellems 199
The panelists for this event are: Zygmunt Frajzyngier (Linguistics), Rachel Boll (Speech Language and Hearing Sciences), and Carew Boulding (Political Science).
Panelists will discuss how globalization affects small communities around the world. Topics include how Bolivia responds to the impact of globalization on its culture and environment; how the languages of several small communities in Cameroon have been affected by political, religious and military pressure; and how the deaf community has been challenged by modern technology.
The Social Sciences Today Forum, a series during the school year, is designed to help the public gain broader perspectives and deeper understanding of human society and how individuals relate to the community and one another.
This forum brings the knowledge and expertise of social science faculty to the greater community and allows the community to ask questions of leading scholars. The event is free and open to the public.
