Join Provost Ann E. Cudd for a conversation with Ariel Armony and Alejandro Portes about their new book, The Global Edge: Miami in the Twenty-First Century (University of California Press), and a discussion about the ways Miami and Pittsburgh are being shaped by the forces of globalization. The event will explore the cities’ social, economic, and cultural transformations—past and present—and appeal to anyone interested in urban studies, economic development, race relations, immigration, and climate change.
