The EDGE seminar series was started over twenty years ago. Through the talks and following discussions, EDGE gets to the issues behind the headlines, seeking a deeper understanding for students who will deal with these issues during their careers. EDGE seeks international and multicultural viewpoints to highlight sources of inequality and strife in a world with shrinking resources and growing demand. Through the talks, discussions and workshops students will identify and recommend solutions to important issues. The best of the papers will be published in the EDGE Journals available on this web site.
Attendance is recorded on a sign-up list handed out each evening.
The talks are recorded on videotape and put on reserve in Green Library, Media Room. In addition, a 3-page opinion paper is required at the end of the quarter. The topic assignment will be handed out Wednesday, Nov. 21 and the paper is due by Friday, Dec. 14 . In the workshop, students will form subgroups of two to five, researching a topic important to the EDGE themes. At the end of the quarter, each group will prepare and tape a 10 minute TV presentation of their results and hand in a substantive written report, due Friday, Dec. 14 .
