Globalization East - Flying University of Transnational Humanities

During the week of June 23-26th, the University of Pittsburgh will host the 2014 FUTH meeting, with the theme "Globalization East." The summer school will address contemporary and past globalization in its socio-economic and cultural dimensions. It centers on "the East" - the various regions of Asia - in two ways. First, it focuses on the nature and impact of globalization in the East, present and past, tracing the nature of globalization in the region of densest population. Second, it focuses on the impact of Eastern processes of globalization on other regions in the world, notably Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
