Myths of Globalization

Thursday, February 26, 7:00 – 8:30 pm

Is globalization new, inevitable, and creating a “level playing field” or “flat world” where all share in its benefits, as some believe?

Professor Sparke argues that these are myths, that reality is sometimes very different, and that there are alternative paths to globalization. Dr. Matthew Sparke, professor in the Geography Department and The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington, and author of a popular textbook on the subject will join us.
