State of the World
Join us on Thursday, November 13, 2025 5pm – 6:15pm 909 Renaissance Park RSVP now!
The State of the World series aims to shed light on several major issues that will impact our world in the coming year and discuss how international cooperation can help address these challenges. Each year, this series convenes a dynamic panel of experts with a range of perspectives to exchange and share ideas. This year’s panel will examine transformations in international security and strategy across China, the EU, and the US, alongside the trajectory of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the security implications of AI and emerging technologies, featuring Professors Kaija Schilde (Boston University), Jennifer Erickson (Boston College) and Xiaoxiao Shen (Northeastern University), moderated by Center Director, Professor Mai’a K. Davis Cross. We invite you to participate in the conversation.
