Renard Lecture Series

The Renard Lecture Series is made possible in part by a grant from the Henry H. Renard Foundation, sponsors, and program participants.
Musical concerts and first-person accounts are combined with traditional lectures by scholars and experts in their fields. Presenters offer stimulating, informative, engaging, and unique insights into music, literature, art, history, sports, take-out film, archeology, and pop culture, and more. The series is open to all and geared toward people 50 years of age and older seeking a cultural and intellectual experience. Join us once or participate in all!

Foreign Affairs Discussion Group: A New World Order
Wednesday, May 21; 7:00-8:15 pm
Members: Free; non-members: $10

Instead he seems to be emulating the new Chinese order in opting for protectionism, subsidies, and authoritarian political control. What kind of new world order are we headed for and what can the west do to make it more sustainable and equitable?
