Title/Theme: Poverty in the Land of Prosperity

Date: Saturday, February 10, 2007

Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Location: Burkle Building

Purpose: To start a transdisiplinary dialogue concerning poverty in America. To raise and answer questions such as: How do we learn about poverty culturally? What are the religious aspects or implications of poverty? How are economics related to poverty? In what ways does the government system influence poverty? What are the psychological implications of poverty, especially for women? In what ways can we address issues of poverty?

Overview: Invited speakers will give presentations on poverty in America according to their own disciplines and research experience. Following presentations, CGU students will constitute a student panel that will present their own research and then lead a public discussion. Lunch will then be provided to participants while poster presentations are being made, marking the middle of the day. A second session of speakers and the last student panel will follow.
