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:Canada and Georgia: Teaming Up For Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Georgia has always enjoyed a steadfast partnership with Canada\, its largest export buyer. But in the last few years\, trade disputes followed by a pandemic have brought uncharacteristic uncertainty to the usually vibrant U.S.-Canada relationship. \nThe two sides have discovered a renewed sense of purposeful collaboration\, especially as supply-chain challenges and geopolitical upheaval force a rethinking of globalization. \nThe return of the Southeast U.S.-Canadian Provinces Alliance’s annual conference to Savannah June 19-20 provides an ample occasion to reflect on the state of Georgia-Canada ties and uncover prospects for future investment and trade partnership. \nGlobal Atlanta recently completed a preview trip to Quebec\, the province that helped spearhead the alliance 15 years ago along with Georgia. The itinerary included interviews with cutting-edge companies in complementary industries such as health\, aerospace\, film\, energy and electric mobility — all areas where a collaborative approach could make both sides stronger. \nJoin Managing Editor Trevor Williams and a panel of experts at the Cobb Chamber of Commerce June 7 at 5 p.m.\, as Global Atlanta recaps the trip\, releases a special report and renews the conversation on Georgia-Canada ties in Atlanta\, starting with a focus on Quebec. \nSpeakers:\n\nKeynote Address: James Hill\, Consul General of Canada in Atlanta\nOpening Remarks: Dina Khismatulina\, Atlanta Managing Attorney\, The Manely Firm\n\nCanadian Company Presentations:\n\n*Jean-François Marchand\, Marketing Director\, UgoWork\n*Julianna Egressy\, VP of Supply Chain\, Medicom Inc.\n*Patrick Gervais\, VP Marketing and communications\, LION Electric\n\nPanel Discussion:\n\nModerated by: Trevor Williams\, Managing Editor\, Global Atlanta\nLaura Dawson\, Executive Director\, Future Borders Coalition \n\nDavid Weiner\, Delegate\, Quebec Delégation Atlanta\n\n*Benoit Montreuil\, Coca-Cola Chair in Material Handling and Distribution; Director\, Supply Chain & Logistics Institute\, Georgia Institute of Technology\n\n*Virtual speakers \nSpeakers Bios\nJames Hill \nConsul General of Canada in Atlanta \nMr. Hill most recently served as Canada’s ambassador to Costa Rica; he enjoyed serving as the envoy to that Central American country as well as Honduras and Nicaragua.

DESCRIPTION:Unlike the past three EV (electric vehicle) booms\, this time\, the EV shift goes beyond the shift to EVs by automakers and is a structural change involving many stakeholders. \nThe shift to EVs is not simply a move to replace engines with batteries and motors\, but it will cause structural changes in the automotive industry\, and the impact will spread to the materials and energy industries. It will also cause a chain reaction with autonomous driving and car-sharing and will spread to service industries such as insurance and logistics\, involving the IT industry. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the structural changes related to the shift to EVs and report on budding initiatives to seize these changes as opportunities. \nA light lunch will be included along with your registration. We look forward to seeing you there! \nSPEAKERS\n\nHiro Ishizaki\, Partner of NRI-America\nAki Fujita\, Principal of NRI-America\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:MADAME Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join Out on Film and the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta for a Pride month celebration. All ticket holders are invited to a special reception at Apres Diem at 6 pm. \nJoin them in celebrating Pride Month with the screening of MADAME by Stéphane Riethauser! Follow the story of a double self-portrait in which a 90-year-old grandmother and her homosexual grandson confide in each other. With sincerity and humour\, the film deconstructs gender stereotypes in depth and with subversive power\, and traces a family saga from bourgeois society with enchanting archive footage. The film will be shown in French with English subtitles and is part of a collaboration between the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta and Out On Film. Make sure to arrive at 6 PM for a delicious cocktail reception! \nLearn more about the film:\nMADAME takes us on an intimate journey where Caroline\, a flamboyant 90-year-old grandmother and her filmmaker grandson Stéphane explore the development and transmission of gender identity in a patriarchal environment. Promised to a domestic life in the 1920s\, Caroline manages to free herself from the clutches of a forced marriage and becomes a successful businesswoman\, defying the social rules of her time. In parallel\, Stéphane struggles to play the role everyone expects in his Swiss bourgeois family\, until the day he comes out of the closet and sets off on a crusade against homophobia and sexism. A family saga based on private archive footage\, MADAME offers a dialog between this extravagant matriarch and her gay grandson\, challenging the taboos of gender and sexuality.
