The notion that we are all "citizens of the world" has become a popular adage. But what is the popular perception of global identity, and do "citizens of the world" share similar traits and characteristics? Learn more at a free public lecture offered by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
"The Making of Global Citizens" will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, presented by David Barry, assistant professor of sociology. Held in the Pinery Room of the Portage Country Public Library, 1001 Main Street, Stevens Point, this is the third talk in the eight-part College of Letters and Science 2016-2017 Community Lecture Series.
"Very little is known about the role that race and religion may play in forming such identities," Barry said. "This lecture will explore recent data on such profiles, contributing to a better understanding of our global society."
Barry received undergraduate degrees in sociology and history from Albion College before earning post-graduate degrees from Western Michigan University. His research interests include sociology of religion, globalization, social tolerance and intolerance, social theory and post-communist societies.
