A forum for existing, new, and interested GSC students to learn about new resources and programs, exchange information about classes, internships, student clubs, and give input on what you’d like to see from the Global Studies Center in the future. We will incorporate sessions with alumni to get their insights, representatives from student clubs, and faculty who teach courses for our certificates, among others.

Virtual sessions will focus on each of the Global Studies certificate concentrations, and students are welcome to join as many as they like.

Contact Elaine if you represent a student organization that would like to speak at one of these sessions or has any questions.

The covid-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on Europe. While not all EU member states have suffered equally, none has been spared social and economic hardship either. Early on, national impulses led to border closures and export restrictions on medical supplies.

Nevertheless, even in the earliest days of Europe’s exposure to the novel coronavirus, pan-European solidarity was on display. Individual acts of solidarity paved the way for donations of hundreds of thousands of protective masks and other medical supplies to those countries most affected. The institutions of the European Union eventually assumed a critical role in coordinating Europe’s response to the crisis. And as discussions shifted toward economic recovery after months of lockdown measures and restrictions on cross-border trade and travel, different proposals emerged for how to kickstart Europe’s economies and return to something approaching normal life.

What does European solidarity look like during this pandemic? How have European citizens perceived and contributed to European solidarity? What might the crisis mean for the future of the European project? In this talk, Rafael Loss, the coordinator for pan-European data projects at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), will discuss the European Solidarity Tracker, an interactive online tool that collects and visualises instances of pan-European solidarity during the covid-19 crisis.

There is no going back to the beginning. The emerging global economy will not resemble the system that came before. That pre-pandemic system was already fragile. Now we have an opportunity to imagine a new global economy.

This is the first lecture in a series of lectures offered by the 2018-2021 US Department of Education Title VI/National Resource Centers for Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Speaker(s):
Rawi Abdelal, Herbert F. Johnson Professor of International Business, Harvard Business School; Director, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University

Dr. Rawi Abdelal is the Herbert F. Johnson Professor of International Management at Harvard Business School and is the Director of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies. His primary expertise is international political economy, and his research focuses on the politics of globalization and the political economy of Eurasia. Professor Abdelal is the author of National Purpose in the World Economy and Capital Rules, and the editor or co-edited of The Rules of Globalization, a collection of Harvard Business School cases on international business; Measuring Identity; and Constructing the International Economy. Abdelal is currently at work on two projects: the first explores the inter-related challenges that undermined the first era of globalization, circa 1870-1914, and which threaten to destroy the current age of global capitalism, and the second explores the geopolitics of energy in Europe and Eurasia. Abdelal earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University.

This event is part of the Area Studies Lecture Series presented by the 2018-2021 U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center and Foreign Language and Area Studies grant recipients for Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.

This course provides students with an opportunity to think about the most recent wave of brutal police violence in the United States in a global perspective. Expanding on our summer series, students will focus on topics such as racial capitalism, colonialism and settler colonialism, and transnational trends in militarized policing and police violence. Students who complete the course will appreciate how policing in the USA shapes and is shaped by global processes.

The pop-up course will kick off on September 15!

Seventy years after the historic Schuman declaration, which kick-started the process of European integration, the Franco-German partnership remains as important and necessary as ever for Europe. Aside from the major fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union faces significant internal and external challenges, whether democratic backsliding or navigating relations with Great Powers like the United States and China. German Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Emily Haber, French Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Philippe Etienne, and EU Ambassador to the US, H.E. Stavros Lambrinidis, will discuss these subjects and more during this virtual conversation. SIS professors Michelle Egan and Garret Martin will moderate the event, including a Q&A with the audience.
