FRIDAY SPEAKER SERIES 2021-2022

A Year of Turmoil

A year of turmoil! A pandemic, a contested presidential election and massive cyber-attacks raised challenges around the globe.  Our strong roster of speakers will provide broad coverage of these topics as well as China’s treatment of the Uyghurs, Brexit, Iran under sanctions, the endless conflict in the Gulf Arab States and America’s own challenges. They will help us understand this broad range of issues facing the world including the efforts to undermine our democracy by powerful national and international groups.
