Globalization: Values, Responsibility, and Global Justice


This year's speaker for the 6th Annual Frank K. Kelly Lecture for Humanity's Future will be Jakob von Uexkull, founder of the Right Livelihood Awards. The Awards were established in 1980 to honor those individuals who uphold the principles of "right livelihood": namely, that each person should follow an honest occupation that fully respects other people and the natural world.

Jakob von Uexkull is a past member of the European Parliament who holds both German and Swedish citizenship. He attended Hamburg International School and was graduated from Christ Church College, Oxford, with an M.A. in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics.

This event is sponsored by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science and other campus departments.
