The World Beyond the Headlines — Winter 2008

The World Beyond the Headlines series is a collaborative project of the University of Chicago Center for International Studies, the International House Global Voices Program, the Seminary Co-op Bookstores and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and is funded in part by the McCormick Foundation. Its aim is to bring scholars and journalists together to consider major international issues and how they are covered in the media.

Speakers at past World Beyond the Headlines events include former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, journalists William Langewiesche and James Fallows, economist Jeffrey Sachs, and South African AIDS activist Zackie Achmat.

The current schedule is posted quarterly here on the CIS website. Questions, comments, or suggestions for future World Beyond the Headlines events can be sent to jbender@uchicago.edu.
