The inauguration of Joe Biden as the next U.S. president will usher in a new era in foreign policy that will break dramatically from the priorities, tone, and style of the Trump Administration, with implications for trade, national security, alliances, and multilateral cooperation on global issues such as climate change, migration and COVID-19. Join us on January 13 – just one week before Inauguration Day – for a timely and thought-provoking presentation by Tom Hanson, former U.S. Foreign Service Officer and current Diplomat-in-Residence at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The program will be presented virtually and will include a Q&A session with Tom, moderated by Molly Hayes Baril, advisor for global engagement at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
