\nRoundtable to address globalization\u2019s effects on Providence
\n
\nKINGSTON, R.I. — October 6, 2003 — A panel of experts on immigration, ethnicity and urban populations will discuss “Providence and Globalization” on Tuesday, Oct. 14 at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Feinstein Providence Campus, 80 Washington St.
\n
\nThe program, part of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Honors Colloquium, “The Futures of Globalization,” begins at 7 p.m. in the Paff Auditorium, and like all colloquium programs, is free and open to the public.
\n
\n溏心vlog免费B站 Professor of Economics Rick McIntyre, one of the colloquium\u2019s organizers, said the panel will examine the Immigrant and Nationality Act of 1965, which expanded immigration opportunities to individuals outside Western Europe. McIntyre said the 1965 lawmakers never imagined how wars in Southeast Asia and Central America would affect immigration in this country. The panel will also examine stereotypes of Asia-Americans in popular culture as well as how Americans think about race and ethnicity in a society that has clearly moved beyond being black and white. “These issues will be linked to the remarkable transformation in the City of Providence through the participation of Mayor David Cicciline and the audience,” McIntyre said.
\n
\nThe program is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities and AS220 and their series Action Speaks, for broadcast later on Rhode Island\u2019s public radio station, WRNI.
\n
\nJoel Rawson, senior vice president and executive editor of The Providence Journal will introduce the panel. Members of the roundtable are: Mayor Cicilline; Ronald Fernandez, professor of sociology and director of Caribbean studies at Central Connecticut State University and author of America\u2019s Banquet of Cultures: Harnessing Race, Ethnicity and Immigration in the 21st Century; and Robert Lee, professor of American studies at Brown University, and author of Orientals: Asian Americans in Popular Culture.
\n
\nThe moderator will be Marc Levitt, host of “Action Speaks.” Levitt has extensive experience as a documentary filmmaker, oral historian, performer, and educator. He currently serves as director of the Charles N. Fortes Magnet School Museum Project in Providence, where students are creating their own museum based on the history of their families and their region.
