Mar 4, Dr Earl Babbie, Guest Speaker, whose topic will be Cultural Transformations

•

Dr Earl Babbie’s topic will be Cultural Transformations.  He will speak to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Hot Springs, Sunday, March 4th, 10:30am.  All are invited.

Starting with the #METOO movement, are we actually seeing something bigger, beyond sexual assault, possibly a cultural transformation in the status of women? Will we actually achieve 
gender equality? I’ll talk about the nature of cultural transformations, review some from history, and suggest some we might address 
in the future.
