Microfinance in China discussed in Monday’s LACI lecture

Join us for the Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture this Monday, Nov. 4, when Geri Mason, assistant professor of economics at Seattle Pacific University, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation ties into our theme “State of the World.”

Mason will speak on “Microfinance in China: Challenges and Innovations,” in which she will discuss how, despite unique challenges, micro lending in China has birthed innovative solutions that have increased access to credit and other financial services for the poorest Chinese – and in turn have brightened the future of women in the country.

The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.
