For Weatherhead affiliates only.
Celebrate the end of the academic year at our third International Book Blitz. At this popular event, open to all Weatherhead affiliates, a panel of Weatherhead Center Faculty Associates will each give a seven-minute “speed talk” about their recent book, launching us into compelling issues from around the world. A party for affiliates will follow the presentations.
