Global Challenges Symposium: Global Democracy, Governance and Human Rights
Register for the discussion here!
The Global Challenges Symposium is a weekly discussion open to graduate students in the SFS about how the COVID pandemic is impacting the world order. Weekly discussions will be led by an SFS faculty member about the week’s recorded interviews. These will take place every Friday from 12:30-1:30pm. You can view a full schedule of the symposium here.
The video for the October 2, “Global Democracy, Governance and Human Rights,” discussion will be released on Tuesday, September 29. Seats for each week’s discussion are limited, and 25 students will be selected to be in a live conversation while the remainder will be able to watch the discussion.
If you are invited to participate in the week’s discussion by your professor or through your program, you do not need to enter the lottery for that session. Registration will close 2 days before the event. We will notify you before 5:00pm on Wednesday, September 30 if you were selected for a discussion seat.
