Podcast Description:
The conference asks what area programs that originated in the Cold War era have to offer in an age of globalization and in the context of such developments as the rise of universalist analytical models in the social sciences, the massive retreat of Americans from mastery of foreign languages, and the progressively more instrumentalist approach of the Department of Defense to language training.
