In an era of globalization where scholar Samuel Huntington has predicted a clash of civilizations, different identities are beginning to overlap. There is an increasing hyper-awareness of attempting to preserve an "authentic" cultural identity and differentiate yourSelf from the Other. Often, this process of identity shaping interferes with the development of intercultural competence. This real talk discussion aims to break down these barriers in order to promote more effective intercultural interactions while still embracing individual cultural identities.

Participants will be able to discuss and learn about how our favorite brands of soap, clothing, jewelry, and more advertise towards an exclusive image. We will discuss and understand what is perpetuating this image as a norm and how as a society we can strive to see more real women.

The MLK Committee delights in bringing guests to Lehigh who share their personal experiences and expertise upon a range of social justice topics.

Join our distinguished panel for the second installment of the Justice Panels to engage in thoughtful discussion regarding the Evolution of Campus Activism.
