Grinnell College’s Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs, International Relations and Human Rights will sponsor a Feb. 21-23 symposium on the global financial crisis. Among the speakers will be John Chambers, managing director of Standard & Poor’s and a 1977 Grinnell graduate, who will reflect on the crisis in the European Union. Washington Post business and economics columnist Steven Pearlstein will deliver the Scholars’ Convocation on “The Crisis is Over. Now Comes the Hard Part.” Pearlstein received the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for commentary that anticipated and interpreted the recession. Federal Reserve economist and Grinnell graduate Elizabeth Laderman will close the symposium with “The Financial Crisis and Lending in Low-Income Neighborhoods.” To view the symposium schedule, click here.
