The Bellarmine Forum:

Globalization and Ethics

October 28 - November 1, 2002

This week-long series of lectures and special events, sponsored by the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts at LMU, will explore the interaction between Globalization and Human Rights, Economic Rights, the Media, and Catholic Social Teachings. "Globalization" refers to the increased inter-relatedness and inter-dependancy of our world, driven by the intergration of international markets, the proliferation of communivation technologies and traavel, and the social changes associated with these developments. As a political, religious and cultural phenomenon, globalization cannot be restriced to economic developments, but confronts us with numerous questions of ethical importance that need to be addressed from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

Organized primarily for the students, faculty, and staff of Loyola Marymount University, the events of this week are also open to the general public, free of charge. For the exact schedule of events, see http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/bellarmineforum/
