“Construction of Gender and Ethnicity in the Globalizing Workplace”

Comment: Nazli Kibria, Boston University

As always, the seminar involves the participants reading a pre-circulated paper available from the society. The meeting will commence at 5:15 PM in the seminar room of the Society, 1154 Boylston St., Boston. After a comment by the author and criticism by Prof. Kibria, the program will be opened to a general discussion of the topic at hand.

Afterwards, the society will serve a light buffet supper. Reservations are suggested, but not required to attend the seminar, but are required to attend the supper, so that numbers may be given to the caterer.
