24 will feature representatives from each of the three signatory 
countries to the North American Free Trade Agreement: Drs. Isidro

(USA). Additional presentations by such scholars at Drs. Ann E. 
Kingsolver (USA) and Monica Gambrill (Mexico) will address NAFTA's

corporate environmental practices, among other topics. The symposium 
will be conducted primarily in English with interpretation services 
available for Spanish speakers upon request.
