Global Education Design Team is looking for speaker/film proposals

Hello fellow faculty,

The Global Education Design Team is eagerly soliciting speaker proposals for this quarter and the rest of the academic year. We provide honorariums to speakers who come to campus to address issues of global relevance.

Last year's topics included a presentation about a Columbian village recovering from war; the threat a massive copper mines poses to the world’s greatest salmon run; and the spectre of global warming in the Northwest.

Recent speakers this quarter have included Lawney Reyes, Kent Wong, Alonso Chehade, and Andrew Jovilette.

This quarter, we hope yet to bring to campus a scholar who studies the perception of African-Americans in China; a speaker on Pakistan; and a humanitarian worker in Cambodia.

If you’d like to propose a speaker we should bring to campus, or have ideas about global topics important to the campus community, please attend our next meeting:
GEDT
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19
2-3PM
ROOM 1103
We'll provide some light snacks.
Speaker proposal forms are available from the GEDT website: www.seattlecentral.edu/gedt/sponsorship.php

If you're unable to make the meeting but have speaker or topic ideas, please contact GEDT co-chairs for 2009-2010:
