Phoenix College Honors Program
Spring 2007 Community Seminar
 Conviviencia Or Clash of CivilizationsCurrent global conflicts and the continuing increase in violence are caused by clashes of religions and culture. Harvard University Professor Samuel Huntington’s book Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (Simon Schuster, 1996) describes that Western, Eastern Orthodox, Islamic, Chinese, Hindu and other civilizations are shaping the global contests for power and wealth. Phoenix College Faculty Albert Celoza will discuss Huntington’s ideas and critiques of his ideas. Based on the idea of conviviencia, which characterized Spanish cultures in the middle ages and in contemporary times, diverse religious faiths and civilizations do not necessarily have to clash. Conviviencia, characterized by varying levels of tolerance, coexistence and integration, could help us envision a better world future.
Dr. Albert Celoza is chair of Phoenix College Liberal Arts and faculty in Political Science. He has written on political economy and international business. His book Marcos and the Philippines: Political Economy of Authoritarianism was published by Praeger Publisher, Connecticut & London.
All members of the Phoenix community are invited to attend.
This event is free, and no reservations are required.
Phoenix College’s Osborn Campus is located on West Osborn Road between 10th and 11th Avenues.
The Dome Room is located at the northwest corner of 10th Ave. and West Flower.
Watch for signs.
