The talk and discussion shed light on the larger context of Haiti's earthquake with a "behind the scenes" approach. See on the same theme Patrick Clairzier's article on the AGS website. Patrick Clairzier (photo) is from Haiti and was raised in the United States. He graduated from AGS and wrote his Master's thesis in 2009 on the topic "Tofu Capitalism: Haiti and the Rise of Neoliberal Hegemony". He now teaches in the AGS-Arcadia undergraduate study abroad program. |
The first "AGS political talk" was held by Patrick Clairzier on March 16th on the theme "Haiti, Beyond the Headlines". This started off a series of informal lectures on an array of political subjects, for AGS students, alumni and outside guests. Each is followed by a question-and-answer session, and discussion.

AGS brought me closer to the world, and to those multinational perspectives that always tended to evade a simple islander. My own ideals were tested and defended on a daily basis, as I was challenged by almost everyone, from German, Russian and Ghanaian classmates to Ambassadors and professors, who have time and again embraced the practical and academic realms of life. Paris' hard-knock life style, AGS' academic structure and my own drive to succeed have definitely provided me with the foundation to give working life the pursuit it deserves.
