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. Derrick also has over 13 years of experience managing political and economic issues as a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State in Latin America\, Asia\, and Washington\, DC\, with four overseas tours including as Chief of the U.S. Embassy’s Political Section in Tegucigalpa\, Honduras. \nAmbassador Mary Carlin Yates is retired from the Department of State after a 32-year diplomatic career primarily in three geographic areas: Asia\, Africa and Europe. She was special assistant to President Obama on the National Security Council (2009-11)\, first for Strategic Planning and then African Affairs. Her diplomatic assignments included positions at U.S. military commands: political advisor at the European Command and deputy commander for the new U.S. Africa Command. She is currently a board director at the Atlantic Council in Washington DC; and a member of the Board of Trustees of WorldOregon. \nCopresented with

SUMMARY:Listening for the Heartbeat of Iran
DESCRIPTION:Tara Kangarlou will be discussing the role of media and society in the U.S. and Iran\, and her insights about the Iranian people and culture as the western media seems to highlight only a slim view of this country of 80 million people.

In 2016\, she founded Art of Hope\, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the psychosocial and mental health needs of refugees in Lebanon. \nHer forthcoming book\, The Heartbeat of Iran will be released on June 1st\, and captures the heart and soul of a country that’s often seen through news headlines and a political fog that blurs the reality of life for millions of Iranians inside the country. Each chapter is an incredibly nuanced\, textured\, and intimate journey into the diversity of beliefs\, struggles\, and complexities of life in today’s Iran – all told through the real stories of its people. Tara was born and raised in Tehran and is fully bilingual in English and Farsi. \nYou can follow Tara at the handles below and pre-order her forthcoming book! \nTwitter: @TaraKangarlou\nLinkedIn: TaraKangarlou\nInstagram: @TaraKangarlou\nWebsite: TaraKangarlou.com\nFacebook: TaraKangarlouJournalist\nBook Link: The Heartbeat of Iran\n\n\nMore about Todd Schwartz:He retired from the Foreign Service of the United States in September 2015 with the personal rank of Counselor (roughly equivalent to Brigadier General). \nMr. Schwartz joined the State Department as a Foreign Service Officer in 1987.

SUMMARY:Cincinnati World Cinema - Women on the Edge
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 11 through Sunday\, June 13 at the Garfield\nAlso online in the CWC Virtual Cinema\nNINA WU  103 min\, Taiwan/Myanmar\, R\, in Mandarin with English subs.\nTHE COLUMNIST  85 min\, The Netherlands\, R\, in Dutch with English subs. \nWe’re proud to present two unusual international films offering the stories of two very different women pushed over the edge by toxic environments affecting not only their careers\, but their dignity\, sanity and safety. \nThe over-the-top treatment in THE COLUMNIST\, set in the realm of social media and publishing\, provides a subversively comedic take on a person who goes too far in pursuit of retribution. As its Cannes and NYT Critic’s Pick credentials suggest\, NINA WU is a more serious work\, a searing indictment of systemic exploitation in the film industry. \nThe underlying theme is exploitation and both films examine the ways these women try to understand and deal with their experiences as they become immersed in stressful situations. Both offer ample ground for post-film discussion. \nThe weekend screenings open with NINA WU\, Friday June 11 at 7 pm\, which repeats on Saturday June 12 at 4 pm. THE COLUMNIST screens Saturday June 12 at 7 pm and repeats on Sunday June 13 at 4 pm. Single tickets are $10 for all screenings\, with a discount $16 double-bill option on Saturday. Trailers\, details\, dates/times and tickets:\nTHE COLUMNIST       NINA WU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ENCORE SCREENING – THE FALL\nJune Date TBA \nLast weekend’s screenings of THE FALL sold out and we’ve had requests for an additional showing. If you missed this terrific film\, or want to see it again\, we are looking to choose from June 18-19-20. Let us know the best dates for you:  Send us your date/time preferences.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  IN THE CWC VIRTUAL CINEMA: \nThe Columnist\, opens May 28\, https://cincyworldcinema.org/the-columnist/.  85 min\, The Netherlands\, R\, in Dutch with English subs. \nNina Wu\, opens May 28\, https://cincyworldcinema.org/nina-wu/.  Festival de Cannes\, Official Selection Un Certain Regard.

Double-thanks to all who thoughtfully added to the Tip Jar when ordering – it really helps! We will continue the hybrid approach with in-person screenings at the Garfield and online screenings via our Virtual Cinema. \nWith the Ohio vaccination rate at 39%\, CWC will not abolish safety measures just yet but will adjust as things improve. For June\, we have increased Garfield capacity from 25% to 50% using two-seat in-row distancing with seats available in every row\, staggered when possible. \nAs most ticket purchases are pairs sprinkled with singles\, actually capacity will likely be closer to 40%. We do request that in-person attendees have completed the vaccine process and also request the use of masks in common areas. While Ohio is jumping into high gear full-open\, we will continue to keep patron comfort level and safety as our top priority. \nThanks again & see you soon\,\nTim

SUMMARY:A (Pandemic) Year in the Life of a Peace Teacher - Stories of Resilience from the American Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Amid the COVID pandemic and national upheaval\, four high school teachers from Alaska\, Kentucky\, Mississippi and Nebraska participated in USIP’s Peace Teachers Program and dedicated themselves to helping their students make sense of conflicts in the world and to showing them how peace can be achieved. \nThe Peace Teachers Program is rooted in the conviction that educators can be pivotal in bringing issues of international conflict and practical peacebuilding skills into their classrooms\, schools and communities. Each school year\, USIP selects a cohort of outstanding American middle and high school teachers from different U.S. states to receive education\, resources and support to strengthen their teaching of international conflict and peace. Given the disruptions of the COVID pandemic\, the 2019 cohort was extended — and the teachers persisted\, despite the difficult context\, in providing their students with opportunities to explore new perspectives\, make global connections and develop critical skills to help them navigate a changed world. \nJoin USIP and the 2019-2021 Peace Teachers as they share their experiences\, insights and strategies for engaging new generations in peacebuilding based on their time in the program — including how their own approaches to teaching conflict and peace evolved during this tumultuous period. \nTake part in the conversation on Twitter with #USIPPeaceTeachers. \n  \n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\nDate: Thursday\, July 8\, 2021 \nTime: 1:00pm – 2:15pm EDT \nLocation: Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProposed Agenda   \nLise Grande\, welcoming remarks\nPresident and CEO\, U.S. Institute of Peace \nJill Armstrong\nGreenup County High School\, Greenup\, KY \nSarah Campbell\nKetchikan High School\, Ketchikan\, AK \nKatrina Gotschall\nO’Neill High School\, O’Neill\, NE \nEmily Philpott\nSt. Andrew’s Episcopal School\, Ridgeland\, MS \nMegan Chabalowski\nSenior Outreach Officer\, Public Education\, U.S. Institute of Peace \nJoanne Leedom-Ackerman\, moderator\nNovelist\, Short Story Writer and Journalist; Member\, International Advisory Council\, U.S. Institute of Peace

SUMMARY:Democracies in Distress: Europe and the United States
DESCRIPTION:On both sides of the Atlantic\, popular confidence in political institutions has fallen and voters are increasingly disenchanted with mainstream political parties. In the United States\, political polarization is at an all-time high\, and in Europe\, political splintering is weakening long-established parties. Additionally\, citizens are unable to determine which news sources are trustworthy and increasingly influenced by fake news and conspiracy theories promulgated by both domestic and foreign actors (namely China and Russia). What are some of the causes of these trends and what can be done to address them? Join us on July 13th to learn more.
