November 30, 2006, International House, UC, Berkeley, 7:30 p.m.Global travel, if not tourism, has existed since the original hominids traveled out of Africa and spread throughout the world. Today, technology, knowledge, and resources permit large numbers of people to explore the furthest corners of the globe: the Libyan desert, Tuva, the Mongolian steppes, the Amazon rainforests, Antarctica, and even into the final frontier, outer space. How are these journeys affecting our world, each other, and ourselves?
Join us for a discussion on the impact of globalization on world travel.

Participating is especially significant to me as I was one of the founding members of the organization 30 years ago, when women were still at the back of the bus and the feminist movement was but a twinkle in our eyes.
