The 16th Global Classroom Virtual Conference:
Cultural Geographic Indicators and a Focus on North America

The 16th Global Classroom Virtual Conference examines critical issues of trade, environment and conflict, as always, but also adds a special focus on cultural geographic indicators. The TED cases revolve around some cutting edge issues that should or will be part of the discussions at WTO negotiations known as the "Doha Round". You can send Jim Lee comments or ideas about the papers from American Univeristy at <jlee@american.edu>.
