Citizenship in a Global Age
The idea of "global citizenship" is old as Athens. But, to this day, it remains a political ideal, not a practical reality. The "world" does not issue you a passport or guarantee you rights. Yet, the values implied by global citizenship - broad awareness, intelligent engagement - have become more compelling than ever. Mr. Campbell will discuss citizenship and its history, the development of American citizenship and the challenges in the era of globalization.

China's Trade and Soft Power Relationships with Asia and the United States
Reason to Worry?
Both an ancient civilization and a rising power, China presents some of the most complex questions facing the world today. China is home to one-fifth of the world's population, yet most Americans know remarkably little about its culture, heritage and growing role in world events. China's rise is one of the transformative events of our time, as well as one of the most important challenges facing U.S. foreign and economic policy.

Illegal Immigrants: Path to Citizenship?
Estimates of the number of illegal immigrants in the United States range from 11 million to more than 20 million. Most recommendations for immigration reform center on the issue of a path to citizenship for these people. Opponents say this is amnesty, a strategy which proved ineffective in previous immigration legislation. Supporters say legalization is both a necessity and a moral obligation. Dr. Michael Olivas, Chair of Law at the University of Houston, and Dr. Vernon Briggs, Professor Emeritus in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, will discuss the issue of a path to citizenship.
