PRESENTATIONS AND READINGS FOR MY SPEAKING TOUR OF INDONESIA, MAY 16-MAY 31, 2008

    I am grateful for the opportunity to visit Indonesia and engage in a dialogue on multiculturalism and democracy in today’s globalized world. Here’s a copy of my detailed itinerary.
    I greatly enjoyed meeting with professors and lecturers, teachers and students, and various individuals from the Indonesian public. 
    Below you will find links to my selected articles, essays, and presentations. I have grouped these by the audience for which they are primarily intended.
    All documents may be downloaded from the internet by clicking on the title. All are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format except for the PowerPoint presentations.
