Economic Crisis: A Multidisciplinary Interrogation of Its Significance for America |
|
In the last month or so this country has seen the biggest economic crisis and financial meltdown of our generation. Yet despite the continuous media coverage detailing the meltdown and the government's response, there has been a dearth of articles attempting to tease out the broader implications of this crisis beyond fairly narrow cause/remedy arguments, dominated by financial jargon. The idea of this panel is to bring together professors from a wide-range of disciplines to share their thoughts on what this means for the country. While an economic lens contributes a share of the discussion, we want to expand our analysis by discussing the significance of this historical moment and the diverse social and political issues that are embedded within it. RESCHEDULED for November 18 4PM in Rose Hills Theater Now with professors:
Darryl Smith
Stephen Erickson
Cecilia Conrad
Rick Hazlett
Chris Clement
Char Miller |

The Future of Health Care in America |
|
Professor Paul Menzel, a renowned health care philosopher and economist from Pacific Lutheran University, will be discussing the moral and political wars of 21st century health care reform. Within the context of Obama's victory, this should be an especially relevant conversation to have as our country moves forward. Hope to see you there! Tuesday, November 11, 7PM Rose Hills Theater
