As part of the No One’s World Series, Shoreline’s Global Affairs Center presents “Myths of Globalization,” a symposium on globalization featuring Dr. Matthew Sparke of the Geography Department and The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.

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.

Check out “Myths of Globalization” in the PUB Quiet Dining Room, 9208 Thursday, Feb. 26 from 7-8:30 p.m. This event is free to the public.
