Multicultural Center Launches 4th Diversity Film Series:  Globalization and Diversity

September 11, 2009

Submitted by Dr. Shelly Jarrett Bromberg

Please join us this semester in the Multicultural Center on select Wednesdays from 12:00 - 2:00 PM for a series of films on how globalization has impacted our world for better or worse. 

For some, like the dancers in "Planet B-Boy," globalization has meant that the once exclusively inner city break dancing contests have gone worldwide with competitors from every country imaginable.  For others, like the thousands of factory workers laid off because their jobs are being shipped overseas, globalization has had devastating consequences. 

Each of these films explores the complexities of our increasingly interconnected world and asks us to think carefully about how and why globalization can contribute to a more dynamic and diverse world while, likewise, being a source of conflict and disempowerment. 

For more information, please contact Katina Chandler chandlkl@muohio.edu  or 785-3024
