SUMMARY:Sports Diplomacy as a Key Tool in U.S. Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:While the United States leveraged the power of sports even before the ping-pong diplomacy era\, the Sports Diplomacy Division at the U.S. Department of State was established in the wake of 9/11 as a means of reaching out to youth in the Middle East through soccer. Its scope has expanded to include all regions\, thousands of participants\, and the full spectrum of sports. The division’s people-to-people sports exchanges open doors in hard-to-reach places and engage communities at the grassroots level.\nWhile a government-led Ministry of Sport is responsible for sports in many countries\, the United States has a different model with leagues\, federations\, collegiate sports\, youth athletics\, and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee driving the sports space. The U.S. Department of State’s Sports Diplomacy Division works with these American sports entities and partner non-profits to manage its core sports diplomacy programs. The office often serves as the linchpin between these organizations and U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world to manage four pillars: Sports Envoys\, Sports Visitors\, the International Sports Programming Initiative\, and the Global Sports Mentoring Program (GSMP): the espnW GSMP to empower women and the Sport for Community GSMP on disability rights. \nKey Take-Aways: \n1. What is sports diplomacy? How does the U.S. Department of State use sports diplomacy in foreign policymaking?\n2. What are key priorities to the U.S. Department of State’s Sports Diplomacy Division in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs? What skills are necessary to achieve its goals?\n3. How can young professionals in international affairs/business become involved in the global sports diplomacy movement? How can it relate to their work? \nFeaturing: \nTrina Bolton\, U.S. Department of State

SUMMARY:Nigeria Update: Human Rights & Freedom of Speech Under Siege
DESCRIPTION:The Nigerian government’s recent ban on Twitter is the latest infringement on citizens’ ability to freely express dissent.

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change \nSpeaker: Dr. Nate Nibbelink \nIn the past few years\, the American public has become more aware of the damage wrought by climate change. From droughts in the west to extreme weather in the wast\, a rapidly changing climate has already made its footprint in the United States. Now\, it’s expected that the presidential election in 2016 will be one of the first ever to place an emphasis on these environmental changes. What can the next president do to stymie this environmental crisis? And is it too late for these efforts to be effective?

SUMMARY:Russia's Ukraine Invasion: Implications for the Arctic
DESCRIPTION:Russia\, with 1/5th of its land mass north of the Arctic Circle\, and two million Russians of a four million population inhabiting the region\, has forced its Arctic neighbors to re-assess an angry Russia\, stung by its Ukrainian experience. Does this experience convince Russia not to engage in any changes in its current Arctic policy — or\, will increasing economic sanctions force Russia to think anew about the vast resources in the Arctic seabed? Russia’s Arctic neighbors face the necessity of an accurate assessment in these extremely troubled times. \nAt this event\, Dr. Thomas Rotnem will speak extensively about the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and its effects on the Arctic. \nGuest Speaker\nDr. Thomas Rotnem \nProfessor of Political Science and Associate Director\, \nSchool of Government and International Affairs\, \nKennesaw State University \nDr. Rotnem is a professor of political science in Kennesaw State University’s Department of Political Science & International Affairs. Having come to the department in Fall 2015\, he teaches courses in comparative politics and international relations. \nAt his previous university\, he received the Teacher of the Year award (2011-2012); before that\, he received the Outstanding Faculty Award twice (in 2001 and 2010)\, was nominated for the award in 2005\, and was awarded the Student Government Association’s Faculty of the Year award in 2007. \nDr. Rotnem earned dual B.A. degrees in Political Science and International Studies and an M.A. in Political Science from Ohio University. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the Ohio State University\, as well as a Graduate Certificate as Specialist in Russian Area Studies. In addition\, since coming to Georgia\, he has earned a M.B.A. (in Finance) from Georgia State University. \nHis concentrations within political science are in comparative politics and international political economy\, with a specialization in Russian domestic and foreign politics. His research has focused special attention upon the democratization and “resource curse” literatures in comparative politics and international political economy. He has published papers and articles on a variety of subjects\, including social welfare policies in transitioning economies\, foreign direct investment in emerging markets\, and the politics of oil and natural gas in resource-rich petro-states. Dr. Rotnem has most recently published a chapter in an edited volume on Sino-Russian engagement in Northeast Asia\, a region of particular and on-going interest in his work. \nReceiving grants from a variety of sources has enabled Dr. Rotnem to carry on much of the aforementioned scholarly work. In the past\, he has received grants and/or fellowships from the U.S. Department of State\, the U.S. Department of Education\, the Social Science Research Council\, the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX)\, the American Council for Collaboration in Education and Language Study/American Council for Teachers of Russian (ACCELS/ACTR)\, and the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies. \nDr. Rotnem has presented his research at conferences and symposia in the United States and abroad. Two of particular formative significance for him were week-long symposia under the auspices of the Salzburg Seminar that focused upon U.S. foreign policy in Northeast Asia and Russia’s future political development. Another exceptionally formative experience for him was that as a Fulbright Lecturing Award recipient in 2010\, an experience that allowed him to engage and interact with international students and scholars in Eastern Europe. \nBeyond his teaching and research interests\, Dr. Rotnem has recently served as the President of the Georgia Political Science Association (GPSA)\, the second-largest statewide political science organization in the United States. Dr. Rotnem also serves as one of two Editors-in-Chief of Questions in Politics\, a refereed publication of the GPSA.

SUMMARY:White House Initiative -- AA and NHPI Economic Summit
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 10\, 2024\, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans\, Native Hawaiians\, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI) will host its sixth 2023-24 Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Economic Summit in Duluth\, GA with participation from the White House and federal agencies. The events are being held in collaboration with the Small Business Administration\, U.S. Department of the Treasury\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization\, the National Asian / Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship\, and other federal agencies. Please note that this is a re-scheduled Economic Summit that was originally planned for October 6\, 2023. \nLanguage barriers and limited outreach have historically held AA and NHPIs back from applying for federal procurement\, jobs\, grants\, and programs. Although approximately 10 percent of small businesses in the U.S. are AA and NHPI-owned\, only 2.8 percent of federal contracting dollars went to AA and NHPI small businesses in Fiscal Year 2020\, according to the Small Business Administration. In May 2021\, President Joe Biden re-established and reinvigorated WHIAANHPI through Executive Order 14031. The Initiative’s whole-of-government approach engages federal agencies to improve interagency policymaking\, program development\, and outreach\, and address barriers impacting AA and NHPIs across the country.

SUMMARY:2024 Dunwoody Great Decisions Virtual Lecture Series – Pandemic Preparation
DESCRIPTION:The annual 2024 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 1 – March 21\, 2024 at 7:00 PM. There is a fee to register for the virtual lecture series\, and registration is required to receive the event link. \n\n\n\nMarch 21\, 2024\, Topic: Pandemic PreparationLooking back at the Covid-19 pandemic\, there are many lessons to take away in terms of domestic and international policies. Although this pandemic seems to have waned\, how can we apply these lessons to future pandemics? Will countries cooperate\, and will a consensus emerge on how to manage globalhealth challenges? \n\n\n\nSpeaker: TBA \n\n\n\nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \n\n\n\nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2024 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\, visit Gciv.org/programs/gd. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonica Schoch-Spana\, PhDSenior Scholar\, Research Professor\nDr. Schoch-Spana\, a medical anthropologist\, is a Senior Scholar with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and a Research Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Since 1998\, she has focused her public health career on generating and applying evidence to advise policymakers and practitioners on how to collaborate with private citizens\, businesses\, and faith- and community-based groups in efforts to manage catastrophic health events\, both effectively and equitably. Her areas of expertise include community resilience to disaster\, public engagement in policymaking\, crisis and emergency risk communication\, health equity\, and public health emergency management (readiness/response/recovery). \n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic response\, Dr. Schoch-Spana has diligently translated social scientific insights into actionable recommendations for policymakers and practitioners\, including as co-Principal Investigator for CommuniVax—a national ethnographic research coalition whose expert advisory group and 6 local teams partnered with communities of color to tackle COVID-19 vaccine access and acceptance issues and to put equity at the center of the pandemic recovery process. She has also collaborated in generating an ethical framework for the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines\, advanced understanding of the pandemic’s mental health challenges\, contributed to decision-making guidance for governors on safe reopening strategies\, consulted on crisis standards of care and their communication to the public\, and spotlighted the need for a transformative pandemic recovery process focused on the whole person. \n\n\n\nDr. Schoch-Spana’s national advisory roles include formerly serving on the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Board of Scientific Counselors for the US Environmental Protection Agency and on the Resilient America Roundtable of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine (NASEM)\, which she also cochaired. She has held appointments to numerous other NASEM committees including\, most recently\, those focused on building public trust in public health emergency preparedness and response (PHEPR) science\, enhancing community capacity and resilience to floods in Southeast Texas\, and expanding medical countermeasure delivery and increasing uptake though public-private partnerships. She presently serves on the Executive Board to the CDC and NSF-sponsored Public Health Extreme Events Research Network (PHEER). \n\n\n\nOver the course of her scholarly career\, Dr. Schoch-Spana has helped guide the direction of policy and practice in public health emergency management such that planning and operations are more behaviorally realistic and contribute to health equity; public health communicators are better equipped to meet the population’s informational needs in an emergency; citizens have more venues to contribute their practical\, intellectual\, and ethical inputs to readiness and response endeavors; and national and local communities are striving to withstand and learn from disasters\, rather than merely respond to them. \n\n\n\nFrom 2003 to 2017\, Dr. Schoch-Spana worked at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Center for Health Security; prior to that she worked at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies\, starting in 1998. She received her PhD in cultural anthropology from Johns Hopkins University and a BA from Bryn Mawr College. She is Certified in Public Health by the National Board of Public Health Examiners. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
