"Democratizing the Global Economy"
Presentation and Discussion with Kevin Danaher, co-founder of Global Exchange
Wednesday, May 2, 2007
7pm
Turner Auditorium, D-209
Described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of globalization's
woes," Kevin Danaher is an exceptionally dynamic speaker. As Global
Exchange's co-founder and Director of Public Education, Dr. Danaher has
spoken at universities and for community organizations throughout the U.S.
He has hosted a monthly radio show on international affairs for KPFA in
Berkeley, California, and he conducts workshops on globalization issues.
Dr. Danaher believes that a renewed commitment to social justice and human
rights is essential for eliminating terrorism. A longtime critic of the
so-called "free trade" agenda, Danaher explains how the US must work
harder than ever with other countries to reduce poverty and inequality if
we want the cooperation of the world's people in ending terrorism. Dr.
Danaher is also the author and/or editor of 11 books, including his
latest, Democratizing the Global Economy.
