This lecture is a final in a series of seven lectures through which two faculty with different cultural backgrounds and identities embarked on a journey of learning and discovery pertaining to culture and intercultural encounters. The lecture will take a look at the future – what the future holds for us from local to the global level. As with the previous two Honors lectures this year, this presentation will also have an emphasis on gender. At 5:30 p.m. prior to the lecture, a video relating to the presentation will be shown.<\/p>\n
