*Important update* In light of the public health advisories on social distancing, the Trump in the World Spring 2020 Lecture Series is only being offered as a UW course. We will make lectures available to the public on this webpage and our YouTube channel if and when they become available.
The presidency of Donald Trump is having a significant impact on international affairs, global alliances, the U.S. role in the world and on the status and politics of other countries.
In spring 2020, the Jackson School will host a series of discussions on the international impact of the Trump presidency as a UW course for 2-credits or no-credit for students (online instructions will be made available as part of the registration).
