Prof. Charles Skuba

The geopolitical and economic tension between the United States and China in a post-globalized world has moved global companies to mitigate their overdependence on China as both a customer market and production source. This lecture will present an overview of this risk mitigation environment and concurrent U.S. efforts to shape a broad strategic industrial and trade policy.

Prof. Elizabeth Grimm

Most elements of counter-terrorism strategy address one of two different goals: disrupting the group itself, or changing the environment in order to make it harder for the group to raise money or attract recruits. Join Prof. Elizabeth Grimm, Professor of Teaching in the School of Foreign Service, as she addresses costs and benefits of strategies currently considered by the U.S. government in order to tackle the problem of transnational terrorism, as well the intelligence challenges inherent in those options.

The Georgetown University College Democrats and the College Republicans will be competing in their annual Homecoming Weekend flag football game. Come to cheer on your choice team in the spirit of civil disagreement and competition!

Prof. Rebecca Helm

There is a thin layer of life that exists between the sea and sky. This ecosystem, called the neuston, is composed of floating golden algae, strange blue jellyfish, purple bubble snails, and even open-ocean insects. In this talk, Dr. Helm will introduce you to this floating world, and share ways that you can engage in exploration of and discovery on the ocean’s surface.
