Feb 24 | Vague & Potent Forces: Religion, Race & the Burden of Globalization
Most discussions of globalization devote inadequate attention to the ways in which this complex process interacts with race and religion. Yet, many in the developing world regard globalization as hegemonic and destructive of local culture, faith, and dignity. Fortunately, religions offer the will to resist domination and the possibility for negotiating globalization within just bounds. This lecture will examine some of the historical and contemporary dimensions of this fascinating interplay of issues.
Presented by Robert Franklin, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Social Ethics in the Candler School of Theology. 7:30pm, February 24 in the Winship Ballroom, Dobbs University Center.
