Symposium 21 :: Vancouver
KEYNOTE PANEL
Greek Worlds, Transnationalism,
Globalization
How can we situate Greek worlds in the context of transnationalism and globalization? Conversely, how can Greek examples help us (re)frame questions regarding the transnational and the global? In this Symposium's keynote panel, scholars noted for their pioneering interdisciplinary work will engage with these questions from the perspectives of anthropology, comparative literature, cultural studies, and history. Panelists will focus on an event, a text (or set of texts), an institution in the Greek context or the diaspora in order to examine how the Greek example helps us think about transnationalism and globalization.
October 15-17, 2009 in Vancouver, Canada. Coordinated
