Kevin Danaher, Ph.D.
Building the Other Globalization
Sunday 1 pm room 2

While the media highlights the monoliths of the globalization of capital like the World Trade Organization (WTO) on a daily basis, global networks of human rights activists, environmentalists, women's organizations, peasant associations, trade union confederations and green business alliances are frequently passed over by the press. However, the hope for the future lies in this latter grassroots brand of globalization that values quality of life over corporate capital. In this empowering presentation, Danaher will examine different ways that you can help democratize the global economy by creating local economic networks that promote fair wages, fair trade, environmental consciousness raising, recycling, planetary stewardship, sustainability, local cooperation, local employment and citizen empowerment.
