A native German trained in Ireland and Belgium, and now working in the U.S., Professor Rosemann has written academic work in German, French, and English, and has reflected deeply on the linguistic and cultural impacts of colonialism while teaching in Uganda. During this presentation he will reflect on how the meaning of vernacular language and culture might change in the future under pressures of globalization. This lecture is designed particularly with an undergraduate audience in mind.
