Dr. Edward Cohen, associate professor of political science at Westminster College, will discuss his research on globalization at Faculty Forum Wednesday, Nov. 2, at ll:45 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"I will discuss the research, 'Travels with Watto: Searching for the Sources of Globalization,' I have conducted with the support of the Watto award I received last year," Cohen said. "Much of this research involved traveling to, and observing, meetings in which representatives of government and private industry worked on setting the roles for global commerce. The forum will highlight some of the lessons I have learned regarding globalization and the best ways to research this phenomenon."
Cohen's presentation is part of the weekly Faculty Forum. Established in 1990, Faculty Forum serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
Cohen, who has been with Westminster College since 1996, earned his undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College and his master's and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
