It operates at a range of scales &#8211; from the individual, to the regional, to the global &#8211; around which our collective imagining of the city and social life are formulated.&nbsp; This talk explores how conceptions that shape how we read cities operate at the level of mythologies. It will explore the way that the contemporary city \u2013 especially the Caribbean city \u2013 is read and what this might reveal in relation to the emergent urbanism in the islands and territories of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Global and International Studies Program would like to announce our second Contemporary Trends in Global and International Studies speaker, Dr. Mark Raymond (Architect and Lecturer in Architecture, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine), whose presentation \u201cUrban Islands: Global Mythologies\u201d&nbsp;will be presented on&nbsp;Thursday, March 3rd at 4:30pm in Rm 2017, Dunton Tower.
