SUMMARY:Doing Business in the NEWEcuador - the Noboa Era
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Embassy in Quito invites U.S. companies of all sizes to participate in a webinar to discuss Ecuador’s current investment and business climate. Join Chargé d’Affaires\, a.i.\, Lawrence Petroni for a discussion of new opportunities and challenges in Ecuador.  \n\n\n\nEcuador\, with a population of over 18 million inhabitants\, and growing at nearly one percent per year\, is a small-to-medium market for U.S. exports. The U.S.–Ecuador trade and investment relationship has significantly strengthened over the last few years.  Ecuador is an important commercial partner for the United States in South America\, and both countries have taken concrete steps to deepen trade\, investment\, and regulatory cooperation. \n\n\n\nPresident Daniel Noboa\, originally elected in October 2023\, won re-election on April 13\, 2025\, to a full\, four-year through May 2029.  Immediately following Noboa’s re-election\, Ecuador’s country risk dropped 800 basis points on investors’ expectation that he will continue to run a pro-trade\, pro-business administration with center-right policies and enjoy a strong bilateral relationship with the United States.  \n\n\n\nWhy Ecuador \n\n\n\n\nThe U.S. is a major foreign investor in Ecuador\, particularly in energy\, agriculture\, mining\, franchising\, and telecom sectors.\n\n\n\nEcuador’s use of the U.S. dollar as its national currency (since 2000) creates a stable environment for trade and investment.\n\n\n\nIn 2024\, the United States exported $7.5 billion in goods to Ecuador.\n\n\n\nU.S. products have high levels of acceptance and associated with quality and innovation.\n\n\n\nClose geographic proximity to the U.S. reduces shipping times.\n\n\n\nIncreased market access in certain export sectors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Philosophy as translation: A conversation with Souleymane Bachir Diagne
DESCRIPTION:Villa Albertine and Emory University are delighted to welcome philosopher Souleymane Bachir Diagne to Atlanta for a conversation on philosophy\, translation\, and transatlantic dialogues\, with Associate Professor of French and African Studies Subha Xavier. \n\n\n\nSouleymane Bachir Diagne is a leading philosopher and public intellectual from Senegal. Professor Emeritus of French and Philosophy at Columbia University\, he directed the Institute of African Studies for a decade. His work bridges African\, Islamic\, and European intellectual traditions\, offering a vision of philosophy as a truly global\, plural\, and dialogical practice. \n\n\n\nAuthor of numerous landmark books\, Diagne has illuminated fields ranging from Islamic thought to African philosophy\, postcolonial studies\, and the history of ideas. His major works include Bergson Postcolonial: The Elan Vital in the Thought of Léopold Sédar Senghor and Muhammad Iqbal (2011)\, The Ink of the Scholars: Reflections on Philosophy in Africa (2016)\, Open to Reason: Muslim Philosophers in Conversation with the Western Tradition (2018)\, and Postcolonial Bergson (2019). More recently\, he has reexamined universalism in In Search of Africa(s): Universalism and Decolonial Thought (2022)\, explored aesthetics and identity in African Art as Philosophy: Senghor\, Bergson and the Idea of Negritude (2023)\, and developed a compelling theory of translation in From Language to Language: The Hospitality of Translation (2024). \n\n\n\nFor Diagne\, translation is not merely a linguistic exercise but a philosophical act of hospitality—a way of making ideas travel across languages\, cultures\, and histories while preserving their multiplicity. In this spirit\, he has consistently advocated for philosophy as a practice of openness\, dialogue\, and mutual transformation across traditions. \n\n\n\nHis contributions have been widely recognized: he received the Edouard Glissant Award in 2011\, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2019\, and in 2024 was named Chaire du Louvre in Paris. \n\n\n\nThis Atlanta conversation will be an opportunity to engage with one of today’s most inspiring thinkers\, and to reflect on how philosophy\, like translation\, can serve as a bridge across cultures and worlds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More
