What challenges does global interdependence pose to many of our accepted assumptions, honored values, and accustomed ways of doing things? This is the focus of “Hard Choices Ahead: Adapting to Global Interdependence,” a free conversation with Oregon State University professor emeritus Richard Clinton on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 6:30 pm at the Downtown Bend Public Library. This program is hosted by City Club of Central Oregon and Deschutes Public Library with support from the Oxford Hotel and sponsored by Oregon Humanities (formerly Oregon Council for the Humanities). The program is free and open to the public.
Clinton is professor emeritus of political science at Oregon State University, where he taught international relations, Latin American politics, American foreign policy, and alternative international futures. He currently teaches in the Honors College at OSU. For more information about this free community discussion, please contact Liz at 541-312-1032 or lizg@deschuteslibrary.org.
