This will be a progressive conference embracing a variety of critical, and radical perspectives on globalization. Participants will explore such topics as the effects of neoliberal capitalism in its globalized form on inequality, injustice and environmental despoliation, how globalization has impacted race, gender and identity, and will also examine new forms of domination in relation to the growing role of computers and the internet in fostering greater inequality as well as social mobilization.
