Other Worlds, Other Lives, Other Times
Location
Wedgewood Conference Center, Room 4094
Presentation Type
Panel Discussion
Start Date
24-9-2014 2:00 PM
Description
When we travel to another country, we expect to have to deal with jet lag and other problems caused by moving to another time zone. What is less expected and often even harder to cope with are the different ways time is processed, perceived and valued, or rather perhaps how time usage reveals what different cultures value. Belmont students who traveled abroad and international students studying at Belmont will discuss things they’ve learned about time through studying abroad. Anyone planning to live or work abroad could learn a thing or two from this session relevant not just to the Symposium but the University Theme “Living in a Global Community”.
