SUMMARY:The Arctic - Great Decisions Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION: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. \nU.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? \nTopics are: \n\nJune 22 – The Arctic\nSept 28 – China in Africa\nOct 26 – the two Koreas\nNov 23 – The Role of the WHO\nJan 25 – End of globalization\n\nStart with the new book! Order the Great Decisions Briefing Book on your own and prepare to join by having read the articles associated with the topic. To purchase the briefing book\, go to this link:  https://www.fpa.org/great_decisions/?act=gd_materials \nPlease contact Susan Tracy\, dsxlstracy@yahoo.com or 513-582-5468 to join and for any questions you may have!

SUMMARY:Rethinking American Grand Strategy | Christopher McKnight Nichols with Mary Carlin Yates & Derrick Olsen
DESCRIPTION:  \nRethinking American Grand Strategy recasts both historical and modern dimensions of U.S. grand strategy by broadening the factors\, events\, and figures that could be considered political\, and therefore strategic. Join us for a 30-minute lecture with one of the volume’s co-editors\, Christopher McKnight Nichols\, laying out some of the broad themes\, major events\, and transformations in U.S. grand strategy\, including an explanation of how an ensemble of leading scholars approached the history of the United States’ place in the world from the framework of rethinking. \nFollowing the book talk\, WorldOregon President Derrick Olsen will facilitate a discussion between Ambassador Mary Carlin Yates and Director of the Oregon State University Center for the Humanities Christopher McKnight Nichols about on how the historical insights provided in Rethinking American Grand Strategy could aid in re-conceptualizing domestic needs and foreign policy in a post-COVID-19 world. \nBuy the Book \nCopies of Rethinking American Grand Strategy are available for sale through the OHS Museum Store. Order your copy by emailing museumstore@ohs.org. \nAbout Rethinking American Grand Strategy \nRethinking American Grand Strategy assembles a roster of leading historians to examine America’s place in the world. Its innovative chapters re-examine familiar figures\, such as John Quincy Adams\, George Kennan\, and Henry Kissinger\, while also revealing the forgotten episodes and hidden voices of American grand strategy. They expand the scope of diplomatic and military history by placing the grand strategies of public health\, race\, gender\, humanitarianism\, and the law alongside military and diplomatic affairs to reveal hidden strategists as well as strategies. \n  \nChristopher McKnight Nichols teaches history at Oregon State University. Nichols is Director of the Oregon State University Center for the Humanities. He founded OSU’s Citizenship and Crisis Initiative. Nichols specializes in the history of the United States and its relationship to the rest of the world\, particularly in the areas of isolationism\, internationalism\, and globalization. In 2016 Nichols was awarded an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. In 2017 Nichols became an Organization of American Historians (OAH) Distinguished Lecturer. Nichols’ 2018 TED Talk is entitled “The Untold Story of American Isolationism” (aka “Why History Matters Today”). A past OSU Professor of the Year\, Nichols was recently named 2021 Sandy and Elva Sanders Eminent Professor in the OSU Honors College. Dr. Nichols is the author\, co-author\, or editor of six books\, including Promise and Peril: America at the Dawn of a Global Age\, which explains the origins of modern American isolationism and the dynamic interplay of international engagement\, isolationist thought\, and domestic reform from the 1890s through the 1940s. \nDerrick Olsen is President of WorldOregon. Prior to joining the organization in 2016\, Derrick was the Vice President of Regional Strategy at the regional economic development nonprofit Greater Portland Inc (GPI) for almost four years. Previously\, Derrick managed international trade and investment issues for over four years with Business Oregon.
