SUMMARY:Anthropology of a Multicultural Nation (Session 4)
DESCRIPTION:The 250th anniversary of the United States provides an 
 opportunity to celebrate our heritage as a multicultural nation shaped by 
 continuous immigration that enriches our culture\, revitalizes our 
 communities\, and stimulates our economy. Although immigration brings 
 benefits\, it also creates social and cultural challenges. While examining 
 our multicultural legacy\, we will investigate strategies to build 
 inclusive communities that are the foundation of a robust nation. Our 
 individual identities are often as multifaceted as our national identities. 
 We will explore how ethnicity\, race\, ancestry\, religion\, citizenship\, 
 regionality\, cuisine\, and similar affiliations contribute to our sense of 
 self.\n\nCosponsored by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at George Mason 
 University (OLLI Mason).\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTER\n\nTom Carroll\, Ph.D is a
