11/14 - Athenaeum at 1pm - Do Film Critics Matter? by Nathan Wardinski


Join us on Wednesday, November 14th at 1pm for Nathan Wardinski’s presentation “Do Film Critics Matter?”    

Today film criticism finds itself at a crossroads. For most of the history of cinema, film criticism has been limited to a select few but with the advent of the internet, digital forces have democratized film criticism, flooding the market with new voices. And as digital sources erode print media, many film critics are finding themselves out of work. Simultaneously, films that are panned by both traditional and digital critics do extraordinarily well at the box office. This presentation will look at the change in film criticism and speculate on its value and function for the future.

The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library, keep walking till you see the gorgeous Minnesota bluffs.

11/07 - Athenaeum - Can God Save us from Corruption? by Hamid Yeganeh

Join us for our Library Athenaeum at 1pm on Wednesday, November 7th. Hamid Yeganeh, Assistant Professor, Business/Management  will present "Can God Save us from Corruption? A Cross-National Investigation into the Effects of Religiosity on the Occurrence of Corrupt Business Behavior"

Summary
Corruption is a globally pervasive phenomenon that impedes economic development and prosperity, hampers international trade, and erodes the social order, peace, and stability. Relying on data drawn from more than seventy eight countries, I examine the effects of religiosity, religious denominations, and communist heritage on the pervasiveness of corrupt business behavior. My analyses confirm that even after controlling for the effects of socio–economic development, religiosity and communist heritage tend to promote corruption. I discuss the nature of corrupt business behavior and speculate about the social and managerial implications.


The Library Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library, Minnesota bluff side.
