While we think of more and still cleverer ways of using ?IT? in our headlines, you could be attending a one-day workshop with award-winning author Professor Douglas Kellner of the UCLA. His mission: to help you get to the bottom of globalization. Assuming it has a bottom, of course.Kellner, currently Philosophy of Education Chair in the UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, has published extensively on cultural studies, politics, critical theory and postmodernism including his recent ?Articulating the Global and the Local: Globalization and Cultural Studies?. He is a regular in the academic journals and an expert on the issue of globalization. Now, for one day only, he will be discussing ?Globalization, New Technology and Postmodernity? at the University of Leicester?s Management Center as part of the workshop.But it?s not just about listening and taking notes. Built into the event is the chance for an open dialogue with Doug and other delegates on any aspect of globalization, critical theory or postmodernism. Questions, requests may be submitted in advance or may be submitted from the floor. Also speaking at the workshop is Professor Stephen Linstead, currently Associate Director and Research Professor of Management at Sunderland Business School. Amongst other things Stephen is the current chair of the Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism, and convener of a Special Interest group of the British Academy of Management, on ?The Philosophy of Organization?. The event is at the University of Leicester?s Management Centre onThursday July 13th 2000 from 10am - 4pm. It costs 20 pounds for the day, including lunch. Which our own delegate will not, apparently, ahem, be entitled to. For more details, email Warren Smith at Leicester University: , or call (0116) 252 5647. You may be lucky enough to meet your esteemed Ninfo editor there if you make it along - look out for the guy with a big green ?Press? rosette. And a sandwich box.
