Speaker Opportunity Thursday, October 10

On the evening of October 10, the Brookings Institute, together with the Charles Koch Institute, will host a debate on the future of America’s relationship with Europe and Russia at the Gleacher Center of the University of Chicago. I wanted you to be aware of this event as I thought some of your students who study history, Europe, or world politics (or any members of a debate club) might be interested in attending a rigorous debate about this topic. It features former senior Obama administration officials such as Victoria Nuland, former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and a number of prominent Europe experts debating geopolitical trends in trade and security affecting America’s relationship with Europe and Russia. Our moderator is Edward Luce of The Financial Times.

Here is a website with information about the event (including free registration): https://charleskochinstitute.swoogo.com/transatlantic-relations. There will be an opportunity for students to mingle with the debate speakers and moderator before and after the event, and of course to ask questions.
