SUMMARY:Expo Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Expo Community Conversation event brought to you in partnership with the World Affairs Council – Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky\, Global Ties\, the U.S. Department of State and the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nJoin us for a discussion on how we bring Expos back to the United States and do so in a more inclusive way that highlights our country’s diversity as a strength of our democracy. Expos\, also known as World’s Fairs\, are the world’s oldest and largest mega event\, held every three-five years in host cities around the world since their inception in 1851 in London. Similar to the Olympics\, which are world festivals of sports\, Expos are festivals of culture\, technology\, innovation\, design\, and human excellence. Past Expos have seen a multitude of countries showcase innovations such as the mobile phone\, the X-Ray Machine\, and the ice cream cone. \nThough Expos have not captured many U.S. citizens’ imaginations\, for those who experienced the events within the United States and overseas the last sixty years\, the experiences impacted simultaneously their worldviews and views of their communities. \nThe physical legacies of Expos in New Orleans\, New York\, San Antonio\, and Seattle—four of the last ones hosted inside the United States\, between 1960-1984—are well established. But the “felt” legacies are underexplored and powerful. With geopolitics rapidly shifting\, these soft power platforms are critical to illuminating U.S. values to international audiences. We also have an opportunity to rethink how we bring Expos back to the United States and do so in a more inclusive way that highlights our country’s diversity as a strength of our democracy. \nJoin us for a conversation on a groundbreaking oral history project to explore the future of International Expositions and the United States’ role in them. The event will also feature Oral Historian\, Anna F. Kaplan\, PhD\, and Paul Kruchoski\, a career member of the Senior Executive Service\, is the Director of the Office of Policy\, Planning\, and Resources for Public Diplomacy.

SUMMARY:The Future on the Persian Gulf Security
DESCRIPTION:Is using military force a viable foreign policy option for 2021 and beyond?\nThe Persian Gulf remains tense as the rivalry between the regional powers of Saudi Arabia and Iran continues. Tensions escalated in early 2020 as the United States began to intervene in the Gulf\, launching an airstrike that killed two Iranian military commanders. What are the historical influences that have led to these tensions? What role\, if any\, should the United States play? Is using military force a viable foreign policy option for 2021 and beyond? This program is presented in cooperation with the World Affairs Council – Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky and OLLI at University of Cincinnati. \nThe group will enjoy a short film about this topic provided by the Foreign Policy Association’s Great Decision program. Following this\, there will be a moderated discussion by Padamar Niskode\, Richard Lauf\, and Michelle Harpenau.

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!
