Description

Registration for this event is closed. Stay tuned for more events in 2023!

Back for a third annual stage-setting conversation, Drs. Marie Berry and Dominic Tierney will take us beneath the headlines on what's at stake for U.S. foreign policy in 2023. Halfway through President Biden's term, the U.S. is poised at the crux of multiple global conflicts and crises. From mass protests and human rights abuses in Iran to Putin's belligerent endeavors in Ukraine and China's looming threat to democracy in Taiwan and elsewhere, the Biden Administration's action or inaction on several fronts will have ripple effects on the global order. Is the administration up to the challenge? How will the midterm elections and an even more divided U.S. government influence policy-making, and how will domestic politics around immigration and climate change impact our standing in the world? Join us on January 11th to hear from the experts and ask your pressing questions.
