Austin Community College (ACC) presents a discussion on the rise in global hunger rates as part of the college’s fall 2019 Global Issues Speaker Series.<\/p>\n

Hosted by ACC’s International Programs, the presentation is Wednesday, September 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Eastview Campus, Room 8500 (3101 Webberville Rd.). <\/p>\n

ACC Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Dr. Linda Cox will examine the cause and discuss solutions and explore questions around the role gender equality plays in answering these questions. <\/p>\n

“After decades of progress, the global hunger rate is once again rising, and today almost a billion people are dangerously undernourished,” says Dr. Cox. “Women in Sub-African countries like Malawi are suffering the most harm. Together, we\u2019ll take a deep look to see what is causing the rise in global hunger and our obligations to help solve the problem.”<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
