The Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies at Indiana University will host the eighth annual America’s Role in the World foreign policy conference March 2-3, 2023. The event will examine pressing global challenges to foreign policy, including the climate crisis, the future of Iran, human rights, and sustainable development. Panel discussions will convene scholars, diplomats, activists, journalists, and non-profit and government leaders.
Several panels will focus on climate change and its impacts on climate-vulnerable populations. We will hear from journalists and regional experts on Iran’s anti-regime protests and implications for foreign policy. One year after Russia’s attack on Ukraine, we will examine the war’s effect on domestic politics, economics, and society, from Ukrainian and global perspectives.

Albright, Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins, human rights activist Wai Wai Nu, Ambassador William Burns, environmental health advocate and MacArthur Fellowship grant recipient Catherine Coleman Flowers, Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Ambassador Samantha Power, Senator Todd Young, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, climate activist Isabella Fallahi, and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, among others.
