Global Literacy Talks: A Conversation on Climate Change

The American Democracy Project

Join on April 20 from 1-2 p.m. ET for “A Conversation on Climate Change.” Elizabeth Chalecki, the associate professor of international relations at the University of Nebraska Omaha, will share insights into her work as a research fellow in Environmental Change & Security at the Woodrow Wilson and as an environmental security subject matter expert for NATO, and she will discuss how climate change is intimately connected to national security.

All AASCU-affiliated students, faculty, and staff welcome!
