The Great Depression and today
The public is invited to a free brown-bag discussion about the current economic crisis at 12:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 26, in the Board Room at Shoreline Community College.
The event is called “Comparing Political and Economic Circumstances at the Time of the Great Depression and Now.”
Three professors will speak on the topic and facilitate discussion with the audience: Ken Lawson, dean of social science, economist Robert Francis and political scientist Larry Fuell.
Future brown-bag discussions about every two weeks will feature experts on topics including social programs and marginalized populations; international health care and humanitarian assistance; refugees and immigrants; business and labor; and energy and global food supply.
