Great Decisions Lecture Series Saturdays, January 26 - March 2 from 9:30 – 11 a.m.

Wood County Senior Center, 305 N. Main Street, Bowling Green

Facilitated by Bowling Green State University Professors This series is co-sponsored by the American Association of University Women

and the WCCOA, Inc. * Dates and topics are subject to change*

January 26: Decoding U.S.-China Trade Dr. Neil Englehart

Though arguably the most advanced economy in the world, the United

States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade. What other tools

can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices?

There are several available, yet they remain mostly unused.

February 2: US & Mexico: Partnership Tested Michalea Walsh

The United States and Mexico have a long, intertwined history, the war on

drugs, immigration, and trade issues have taxed the relationship over the

years. What impact will new leadership in both countries have on this

crucial partnership?

February 9: The Rise of Populism in Europe Dr. Doug Forsyth

Mass migration, and the problems associated with it, have directly abetted

the rise of populist parties in Europe. How will this impact Europe?

February 16: Refugees and Global Migration Dr. Vibha Bhalla

Today, no countries have open borders. Every state in today’s global

system has its own laws and policies about who is permitted to cross its

borders, and how they will do so. How effective are the international laws,

policies and organizations that have evolved to assist and protect refugees

and migrants?

February 23: Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future? Dr. Marc Simon

Nuclear weapons have not gone away, and the Trump administration has brought a new urgency, if not a new

approach, to dealing with them. To what degree should past nuclear talks guide future U.S. nuclear arms

control negotiations? Can the art of the deal apply to stabilizing our nuclear future?

March 2: Cyber Conflicts & Geopolitics Matthew Haschak, Director of IT

Cyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat, which can include foreign interference in elections,

industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Is the United States prepared to respond to such threats?
