From Paul Mueth--
all for some "from below" folks

 I wish I could attend and contend with the clearly corporate approach that's
going to go down .. 

The first speaker, local prof, includes in the readings for, I believe, a 300
level class, stuff from Sam-maddog Huntington (clash of civilizations) and Tom
-pitbull for corporate globalism- Friedman

Looking further dowwn the list, I hope I'm wrong in my expectations

   Globalization A Seminar

   Series for Spring Semester 2001 


   We hear the word "globalization" voiced
   daily in the media and in our conversations with
   colleagues, friends, and family. But what is it? In
   what ways does it affect our lives? And why should we
   care? These are big questions for which there is no
   definitive or satisfactory response
   possible in a brief presentation. This series of
   discussions on globalization for spring 2001 seeks to
   inspire creative thoughts on these
   problems. All members of the University community are
   invited to share their views with speakers informed
   about key dimensions of the
   globalization process.
