The New Majority-Minority City with Dr. Glenna Matthews

Commonwealth Club - Silicon Valley

August 18, 2008

Add Review/Comment

Dr. Mathews, a historian who has been studying San Jose for nearly 35 years will explore how the city’s past can help us understanding the exciting possibilities presented by its future. Mathews believes that the region’s history and some of the public policy decisions made during the postwar period have helped San Jose model the physical embodiment of what a true multi-cultural city looks like. Mathews will focus particular attention on the rebirth of downtown San Jose and the new vitality in East San Jose. Part of the Great Cities Speaker Series presented by 1st Act Silicon Valley, ZERO1, San Jose State University, The Fairmont San Jose, APACA, AIA Santa Clara Valley, San Jose Rep, and CreaTV San Jose

    What an awesome person to meet and hear. How many people - much less women - can one name who has headed as public a company as HP, and who has been in the public eye, under heavy criticism, and given up so much in life to lead with a strong hand? Ah, women of the world, take note, and lead through the criticisms, the male-dominated world of the Board Rooms, and corporations. Take charge. Carly is, and was, definitely a woman with a vision. I am looking forward to learning from her! Collapse

    The language they use is an important part of how conservatives have been able to dominate the national agenda. All too often, progressives and media folks help them do so by unwittingly using terms that reinforce the conservatives' positions. George Lakoff is an expert on decoding political language, and a clear and engaging speaker. You're guaranteed to learn something important from his talks. "Freedom" is going to continue to be one of the hot topics in American political discourse. Progressives need to learn how to talk about freedom in ways that express effectively what WE mean when WE use that word. Collapse
