Foreign Affairs Discussion Group

Foreign Affairs Discussion Group
Date: May 4, 2022
Time: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
TOPIC
We’ll begin with a policy update on Ukraine, then shift to ‘Taking Stock’ of the post WW2 order respecting geopolitics, security, economics, and broadly defined globalization. The goal is to take a hard look in the mirror and identify some broad foreign policy themes and options going forward.
All are welcome to participate.  Moderated by Barbara Griffiths
