Eastern Professors to Discuss Trip to Ghana

Written by Jack Meltzer

Willimantic, Conn. -   Dennis Canterbury, professor of sociology at Eastern Connecticut State University, and Dr. Bonsu Osei, associate professor of mathematics at Eastern, will give a presentation on their spring 2009 visit to Ghana, West Africa at 3 p.m. on Oct. 21 in Room 110 of Webb Hall. The public is invited. Admission is free.

Seventeen students who traveled with Canterbury and Osei to Ghana will also be on hand during his presentation. Some of the students called the trip "life altering." It was aimed at giving students first-hand exposure to development issues in a developing country -    specifically, the theories and uses behind sustainable development, neo-liberal globalization and international economic partnerships.  Canterbury, Osei and the students will relay stories and what they learned from their travels.
