Last year Professor Weinberger began participating in the Council on Foreign Relations Conference Call series. This is a program that lets students around the country talk to specialists in various fields, giving them the chance to interact with each other. We will be supporting this series again this year; we will secure a room and invite any interested students to join us in these conversations. Different faculty in the department will help facilitate each event.
Say you're not on campus? You may not be able to participate, but the conversations themselves are archived here if you'd like to listen to them. There are also videos of past public presentations by notable individuals in the field of foreign affairs.
Here's the upcoming schedule (all times 9am-10am PST). We'll mention it again and provide details as we get closer to the date.
