2001-2002 Program
From Manhattan to Rome and from the Himalayas to the bluffs above the Fox River, the 2001-2002 Lunch at Lawrence series offered a lively intellectual tour of interesting topics and locales.
During the course of the academic year, attendees learned about future plans for the campus and why to expect to see construction cranes at Lawrence for some years to come; explored the financing of Broadway productions and how Broadway itself is changing; and discussed the evolving nature of U.S. relations with the developing world. We also examined the impact of urbanization on our waterways; discovered what the Romans considered entertaining; and shared insights on how Western music is taught and performed in Haiti, Argentina, and China. Finally, we learned of the growing rivalry between India and China and what that suggests for the emerging triangular relationship between those two countries and the United States.
