Events Calendar

We welcome you to the Great Decisions Group Discussion facilitated by Susan Tracy. This group will meet the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. running through to January. Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs.  The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today.

U.S. President Donald Trump left many scratching their heads when it was rumored that he was looking to purchase the large island nation of Greenland from Denmark. While any potential deal seems highly unlikely, the event shows the changing opinion within the U.S. government toward engagement with the Arctic region. Because of climate change, large sheets of arctic ice are melting, exposing vast stores of natural gas and oil. With Russia and China already miles ahead with their Arctic strategies, can the U.S. catch up?

Topics are:

• June 22 – The Arctic
• Sept 28 – China in Africa
• Oct 26 – the two Koreas
• Nov 23 – The Role of the WHO
• Jan 25 – End of globalization
