Saul O Sidore Lecture Series

Educating for Global Citizenship

This year’s Saul O Sidore Lecture Series at Plymouth State University features diverse perspectives on our increasingly interconnected world to promote peace, prosperity, and a viable planet.

This is a time of global mobility and communication, and Americans’ awareness of diverse cultures, people, world events, and institutions must keep pace. Students and citizens need to understand the issues in which international cooperation is vital: ensuring opportunity and sustainability in the global economy, resolving enduring conflicts, preventing genocide, and managing the tension between sovereignty and human rights. With this understanding comes the potential to facilitate problem solving at the local, national, and international levels.
