The Big Picture: Global Affairs

with Dr. Ian King

Retired Hendrix professor, Dr. Ian King, will be facilitating a non-partisan community discussion group focused on understanding global events

Everyone is invited to participate in The Big Picture: Global Affairs! Dr. Ian King, retired Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Politics and International Relations at Hendrix College, will be facilitating this group. Content will be driven by group interest and input. This is not a class but rather a peer discussion group with a facilitator; consider him your DM in D&D or a panelist at a conference. The idea is to focus on non-partisan information exchange and discussion about global affairs past and present. Please attend with an open mind, a desire for understanding, and a respect for differing opinions.
