Lund Critical Debates in Foreign Policy Series

The Critical Debates in Foreign Policy Series builds on the success of the Foreign Policy Distinguished Speaker Series by bringing to campus speakers of prominence in international affairs who can address topical issues from a variety of perspectives. The series hosts a debate each academic year, typically with two to three outside experts and a distinguished Cornell faculty member as moderator. Topics and speakers of debates are determined by the Foreign Policy Network, and reflect topical issues and current events.

The Einaudi Center is deeply grateful to Judith Lund Biggs ’57 for her generosity and foresight in creating this series, which serves to strengthen academic discourse at Cornell and enhance the student experience.
