Public Events Series
The Public Events Series hosted by the Center for Global Affairs (CGA) features a provocative and diverse mix of free, public programs that examine global issues from a variety of perspectives. Designed as a collaborative enterprise, CGA events draw upon the talents of NYU’s 18 schools and colleges, the greater New York City international community, and thought leaders from around the world. Participants engage in conversations with renowned journalists, economists, and socio-political experts and commentators, gaining insight into today's most pressing global concerns.
Annual events include:
- In Print with James F. Hoge, Jr., a series featuring Hoge, senior advisor, Teneo Intelligence; chairman, Human Rights Watch; and CGA advisory board member, in conversation with leading journalists and authors.
- Conflict, Security, and Development, a brown-bag lunch series that examines new research, creative policy approaches, and recent innovations in addressing security and development challenges in conflict and post-conflict contexts.
- Global Leaders: Conversations with Alon Ben-Meir, in which Ben-Meir, professor of international relations, journalist, and author, hosts leaders from around the world in conversations that probe critical global issues and explore the policies designed to address them.
