Robert P. Taylor's: Bahrain: Reflections on Globalizaton and Arab Higher Education

Drawings made
in transit

The 13 people above were drawn while I and they were in transit. Some were airborn, some underground, and some elsewhere. All, though, reflected globalization, by being on the move at high speed, by representing one sub-culture moving about within another, and so on. The single glass included above is not a mistake. It appears here because that glass and the restaurant in which it was drawn, exist primarily for people globally in transit. At the end of the 20th Century, the speed and frequency with which people move about the world and degree to which they have incorporated mobility into their lives is amazing. Awareness of the many implications of this certainly fueled the debate at the Bahrain conference (see The globalization debate below).
