The Life-Long Learning Lecture Series at Fort Lewis College will present “The Bounds of Diversity and the Mirage of Multiculturalism” at 7 p.m. Thursday in Room 130 of Noble Hall.
Tom Givón, a Colorado rancher and retired professor of linguistics and cognitive science, will lead a conversation about how diversity is a core ingredient of evolution through natural selection.
He will discuss the parallel between biological and cultural populations; survey the rise of agriculture, surplus-food production and increasingly larger social units; and examine the current academic obsession with diversity and multiculturalism.
