NYU World Tour ~~ This Week!

NYU World Tour celebrates the history, traditions, and culture of each of our Global Sites! Events celebrating the diversity of cultures and traditions within the respective communities are held at every global site. Events at the Washington Square campus are highlighted by the World Tour Grand Bazaar and World Film Festival.

_____________________________________________________

GRINGO TRAILS is a feature-length documentary that raises urgent questions about one of the most powerful globalizing forces of our time: tourism. Spanning South America, Africa and Asia, the tourist pathway known as the “gringo trail” has facilitated both life-altering adventures and the despoiling of many once virgin environments. The film follows stories along the trail to reveal the complex relationships between colliding cultures: host countries hungry for financial security and the tourists who provide it in their quest for authentic experiences.

Sochi in the American Mirror

“Putin’s Olympics” are rightly criticized in the American press and by American politicians: the country is still grappling (poorly) with LGBT rights, the games benefit very few economically, public money and public property are channeled into private pockets, and politicians seem to be immersed in very large sums of money. Sound familiar? It should, and Russians might not be blamed for objecting to Western hypocrisy. This talk explores the global conversation about economic and social rights and considers whether there is a better way to conduct it.*

 *Description from the website.

A lecture by Yanni Kotsonis, Director of the Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia.  Co-sponsored by the NYU Arts and Science Office of the Dean.
