Public Lecture Series July 3-19, 2007

In an era of globalization, education may play an even greater role than it has in the past in the development of world citizenship. This kind of moral globalism is necessary so that traditional approaches to teaching, learning, and living are able to incorporate the emergent opportunities created by economic, political, and technological development. At the heart of this cosmopolitan role for education and educators, lies the desire for all human beings to be capable of living well with and for each other in just communities.
