Join our popular international relations discussion group, modeled on the Foreign Policy Association’s Great Decisions program. This ten-session series will explore a wide range of timely foreign affairs topics, including AI Pros & Cons, Climate Change, Technology and Warfare and more.
These conversations are moderated by volunteer members of our community who participate in the Library’s winter Great Decisions group. They are not foreign policy experts, but fellow participants helping to guide an open and respectful exchange of ideas.
The World Affairs Forum meets on the first and third Monday of the month at the Library. In-person attendance is encouraged for a richer discussion experience. A Zoom option is available for those who need to join virtually. All registered participants will receive a Zoom link on the day of each meeting.
Register once to participate in all 10 sessions and receive reading materials in advance.
