Overview

In this World Affairs lecture series, we will discuss current events making the news, affecting our lives and our world. “Power in America” will be a prominent theme throughout this session, providing in-depth analysis and insights this election season.

Hot topics of the week will be explored in-depth, providing context and background for stories in the headlines. We will also be exploring some topics that did not make the headlines, but should have. The content will be determined weekly by emerging issues of importance to Canadians. Come for lively discussions of the news that matters, led by a veteran Carleton University political scientist and media commentator.

Perspective and analysis will be provided by the lecturer, followed by a discussion with participants. Come see why this series is an engaging and enlightening favourite for so many.
