Speed Talks: Lessons for the Domestic Moment

April 10, 2025
4:30 pm
Goldwin Smith Hall, G64
Join Einaudi Center and Brooks School researchers for three-minute speed talks and community conversation on our contemporary moment.
Speakers will jump off from interdisciplinary and international research, experiences, and world events to provide a fresh perspective on current U.S. politics and public policy. Together we'll look at challenges faced and solutions found in a variety of academic fields and places around the world—to help us think through how to address emerging issues at home.
The event features clusters of speed talks on related topics—including free speech, U.S. elections, and international aid—with time for Q&A and conversation on each topic.
