AGSC and GCIV will help facilitate discussion groups and lecture series that give participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of world affairs.</p>

<p>The 2021 Dunwoody&nbsp;Great Decisions Lecture Series&nbsp;will take place virtually&nbsp;every Thursday at 7:30 PM from February 4 &ndash; March 25, 2021.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;<em>Great Decisions Lecture Series</em>&nbsp;is the largest discussion program on world affairs and features weekly topics chosen by the Foreign Policy Association. Topics, which&nbsp;change annually, are based on the Foreign Policy Association&rsquo;s nonpartisan briefing book and highlight eight of the current most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans. This year&rsquo;s topics include Supply Chains, Persian Gulf Security, Brexit, the Arctic, China&rsquo;s Role in Africa, the Korean Peninsula, the World Health Organization, and Globalization, and are presented by Georgia Tech and Georgia State University faculty experts.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech and GSU faculty members will be featured as speakers in this year&rsquo;s program, who will provide additional perspective on the week&rsquo;s topic and lead a conversation with the audience regarding the information presented in the Briefing Book and through their remarks.</p>

<p>AGSC is proud to participate in the <em>Great Decisions</em> program, the largest non-partisan citizen education effort of its kind that has provided quality information and tools for over fifty years!</p>

<p>The lecture series is free, but registration is required to receive the event link.&nbsp;Registration and more information about each week&rsquo;s event and distinguished speaker are available on the <a href="https://atlantaglobalstudies.gatech.edu/Great-Decisions">AGSC&rsquo;s Great Decisions webpage</a>.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
