How does intercultural learning fit within Willamette's liberal arts education, which prepares graduates to transform knowledge into action and lead lives of achievement, contribution and meaning? Does this also mean Willamette graduates are "global ready", prepared to engage effectively in diverse teams in the marketplace, government, service and nonprofit sectors? How internationalized is Willamette?

This talk will survey further "turning points" in Western philosophy that remain significant today. We will resume our study with the period following Plato, who created a kind of school, the "Academy", in an olive grove named after its donor. Notwithstanding Plato's own influence, some students took up the thread of Socratic thought to form schools of their own. Among these schools were the Cynic, Stoics, Epicureans and Skeptics. Over time these schools of philosophy became common words that had meanings very different from the philosophies from which they sprang. Philosophical Cynics were not necessarily "cynical". "Stoics" did not focus on learning how to bear pain with equanimity. Epicureans did not live for gourmet meals. Skeptics were more than steadfast doubters. These "post-Socratic" philosophers developed new lines of inquiry that significantly affected Western civilization. Some lasted for centuries; two deeply influenced philosophy in the modern era. The Questions they raised and methods that they developed remain relevant today, shamelessly borrowed by self-help movements that seldom acknowledge their ancient origins.

Recycling and consumption rates have made drastic shifts through history that reflects our values and our culture. We'll explore how marketing and technology has fueled change and bombarded consumers with fast fashion and disposable goods while our global waste system has failed to keep up. Through art examples, we will examine how maker movements, right to repair advocates, and art activists promote democracy and transparency in an industry that greatly impacts our lives and our planet.
