REGISTER HERE <https://mit.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TzYnrNVBQwWah_WxMEN_eg>
Guest Speaker: Heidi Peltier <https://www.bu.edu/pardee/heidi-peltier/>, Ph.D, Director, 20 Years Project, Boston University
The world is facing an unprecedented crisis on several fronts. Lack of leadership by the United States has intensified many flash points around the world including nuclear threats and the abandonment of arms control negotiations, bio-safety, climate change, food insecurity, instability and tensions in the East, and increased pressure from nationalists and extremists at home and abroad. This seminar series will capture a subset of these critical issues facing humanity and the planet.
