SUMMARY:2021 Dunwoody Great Decisions Virtual Lecture Series: The Korean Peninsula
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center\, the annual 2021 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 4 – March 25\, 2021 at 7:30 PM. The 2021 virtual lecture series is free\, but registration is required to receive the event link. \nMar. 11\, 2021 Topic: The Korean Peninsula\nLecture by: Dr. Sohoo Lee\, Associate Professor and Graduate Director\, Civic Engagement and Public Service\, University of West Georgia. Political Commentator for Atlanta Radio Korea (AAM1040 located in Atlanta) and Political Columnist for News Today and W’s (an Atlanta-based Korean weekly news magazine) \nThe Korean Peninsula is facing a defining era. Attempts by South Korean President Moon Jae-in and former U.S. President Donald Trump to repair the rift between North and South have lost any momentum as Pyongyang continues to test long-range missiles for its nuclear weapons program. As the rift between the U.S. and China grows further\, South Korea may end up in the middle of the two superpowers. What does the future hold for the U.S. relationship with the ROK? \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2021 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\, visit Gciv.org/programs/gd. \nGCIV serves as the statewide coordinator for the Foreign Policy Association’s (FPA) Great Decisions program by helping facilitate discussion groups and lecture series that give participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of world affairs.

SUMMARY:The Progressive Feminism of Marija Jurić Zagorka’s The Witch of Grič
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the sixth event of Oglethorpe’s Year of Suffrage\, a two-semester program of events celebrating the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. \nDr. Lejla Ibrahimbegovic\, OU Lecturer of Core Studies\, will offer “’The Progressive Feminism of Marija Jurić Zagorka’s The Witch of Grič” on Thursday\, March 18th at 6 PM via Zoom. \nMarija Juric Zagorka was the first female political journalist in Southeastern Europe\, as well as a celebrated author of socio-historical romance novels. This lecture explores her subversive work’s impact on the development of women’s rights in the region by focusing on her novel series The Witch of Grič. The Witch of Grič introduces Nera Ratkay\, whose fight for the liberation of women wrongly accused of witchcraft reflects Zagorka’s own ideals of women’s solidarity. \nZagorka’s female protagonists are inspired by her own life and are each a tour de force of courage\, independence and authenticity\, but their storylines end on a much happier note than Zagorka’s. Upon her death in 1957\, she was buried with much pomp as a member of the intellectual elite\, but her work and letters were only preserved unofficially\, indicating the precarious position that powerful women continue to find themselves in as disruptors of the status quo. Regardless of these obstacles\, Zagorka’s work proved to be a tremendous success: generations of women who grew up reading her “guilty pleasure” novels were given both a voice of their own and a community of women to support their quest for equality.

SUMMARY:2021 Dunwoody Great Decisions Virtual Lecture Series: Roles of International Organizations in a Global Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center\, the annual 2021 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 4 – March 25\, 2021 at 7:30 PM. The 2021 virtual lecture series is free\, but registration is required to receive the event link. \nMar. 18\, 2021 Topic: Roles of International Organizations in a Global Pandemic\nLecture by: Dr. Jennie Ward-Robinson\, Senior Advisor to the Dean of College and Arts and Sciences and Director of Operations and Outreach\, Center for Studies on Africa and its Diaspora at GSU; Strategic Advisor to the Global Health Institute at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst; member of the Board of Directors at the Smithsonian Science Education Center and the Dean’s Council at Emory Rollins School of Public Health \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the World Health Organization (WHO) into the limelight\, for better and for worse. While some of the former Trump administration’s criticism of the organization is unfair\, the response to the early stages of the pandemic left many experts wanting more from the WHO. What is the WHO’s role in responding to international pandemics? What can be done to improve the WHO’s response to future global health crises? \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2021 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\, visit Gciv.org/programs/gd. \nGCIV serves as the statewide coordinator for the Foreign Policy Association’s (FPA) Great Decisions program by helping facilitate discussion groups and lecture series that give participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of world affairs.

SUMMARY:Goethe Frühlingsfest
DESCRIPTION:The German word “Frühlingsfest” means “spring festival”. An annual family-friendly celebration of the spring season\, Frühlingsfest takes place in cities all over Germany\, such as München and Stuttgart. With over 1.2 million participants each year\, Frühlingsfest makes its name as the largest spring festival in Europe. \nThe Goethe Frühlingsfest held annually in Avondale Estates\, Georgia\, exhibits a variety of artists\, performers\, and traditional German dishes\, drinks\, and beer – in addition to a welcoming opportunity for all to learn more about the German culture and language! \nRather than hosting an in-person event in 2021\, festival organizers have decided to hold the event in a different capacity due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Instead\, the virtual festival will be held from March 20 – April 4\, 2021\, with a goal to educate the public on German culture\, provide opportunities for local artisans via their online marketplace\, and support local businesses in downtown Avondale Estates through a “business passport”. \nThe Frühlingsfest business passport will challenge the public to support as many participating businesses in downtown Avondale Estates as possible during the two-week period for a chance to win a $50 gift card. Customers will earn one contest entry per business supported. So… the more businesses you support on the passport\, the higher your chances of winning! In addition\, many businesses will be offering menu or retail items with a German theme including German beer\, food\, maps\, and even soap! Keep an eye out! More information is on its way. Passports will be available in a digital format. 10 contest winners will be selected in mid-April and will receive a $50 gift card to one of the downtown businesses they shopped. \nThough the festival is virtual\, Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta is still excited as ever to feature their beloved businesses and participating artists\, coming from across the Southeast and Downtown Avondale Estates! \nTo see what German-themed specials are being offered\, submit your passport\, or learn more about Fruhlingsfest\, please visit www.goethefruehlingsfest.com.
