Voltaire's Corner


Voltaire’s Coffee on US-Mexico Relations and NAFTA


Tuesday, November 29, 7:00

The Joynes Reading Room
Dr. Danon-Leva of the Business School will host a discussion on her area of expertise - U.S.-Mexico relations and the NorthAmerican Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since its implementation in 1994, NAFTA has had dramatic effects on the United States, Mexico and Canada. The agreement has been singled out as the cause of the Zapatista uprising in Mexico, the decline of manufacturing in the U.S., and environmental damage on all sides. Dr. Danon-Leva has extensive insight into these issues and the diplomacy behind the agreement. Her depth of knowledge and energetic style are sure to make this a fascinating event. 
Dr. Danon-Leva will present a lecture on the topic, followed by a discussion. All majors are welcome.

Night of the Living Dead Voltaire's Cinema

On Thursday, October 27th, about 30 zombie Plan II students showed up to watch the classic horror film Night of the Living Dead. Matt Valentine, Joynes Room Program Coordinator, creative writing professor, and zombie enthusiast, gave a brief history of zombies and how the film defined the zombie genre. The living dead in attendance munched on pizza and brains while they watched.
