April 19 | Religion, Globalization, and the Struggle for Freedom

Frank Lechner, Associate Professor of Sociology at Emory College, will lecture as part of the Center for Ethics' series on religion and globalization at 7:30pm, April 19 in White Hall 111.

Why do many religious groups oppose globalization – and should they? Can religious organizations contribute to globalization and even take advantage of it? What kind of religious engagement in globalization is most likely to make a difference? Will globalization marginalize religion in world society? This lecture challenges conventional jeremiads about globalization by arguing that the experience of some globalizing religions and the thrust of the movement for religious freedom contain potentially inspiring answers to these questions.

The event is free and open to the public. Nearby parking is available in the B. Jones Lot and Peavine Visitor Parking Deck.
