讲座介绍：In the past eight years, the city of Kent underwent dramatic transformations. This presentation examines how these changes occurred, expecially as they took place during the Great Recession. Using interviews with key figures and  systematic analysis of planning documents and newspaper articles, he demonstrates the importance of 1) generational shifts in the population of town and university, 2) steps taken by early leaders that were refined and put into action, and 3) opportunities presented by the overall political and economic environment. In the end, Dr.Kaplan will talk about all of the steps involved in publishing in an international journal.
