The Aguilar Conversations: A Global Perspective

Tony Aguilar

Whether we admit or not or are even aware of it, we are all global citizens. While we are citizens of a particular nation, what happens beyond our borders has both positive and negative effects on our lives. The goal of the Aguilar Conversations is to inform its listeners of issues beyond their borders. Whether those issues are today's headlines, or little-known issues, the Aguilar Conversations engages experts from the world of academia, politics, journalism, religion and advocacy about global issues and their impact.
