A timely exploration of the role of diplomacy in resolving world conflict begins a four-part reading and discussion Great Decisions series at the Norman Public Library.
Special Envoys, featuring retired US Ambassador Edwin Corr, is Thursday February 18, at 6:30 p.m. in Rooms A/B in the library.
Registration is not required, but those who register will receive reminder notices for each event. Register to attend any or all of the Great Decisions programs by visiting the library or by calling 701-2620.
Following a video presentation from the Foreign Policy Association, Corr will discuss the diplomatic muscle special envoys can wield, and describe the unique challenges faced by members of the diplomatic corps.
An optional Briefing Book containing all the essays and reading material is available for $12 at the library.
Ensuing Great Decision sessions include Global Crime with OU law professor Peter Krug, March 11; Peace Building and Conflict Resolution with OU international relations professor Jarrod Hayes, April 8; and Russia and its Neighbors with OU political science professor Paul Goode, April 22.
The Great Decisions Program, sponsored nationally by the Foreign Policy Association, is a series of public forums designed to bring people together to discuss and express their opinions on foreign policy issues. The Great Decisions Program is sponsored locally by the Friends of the Norman Public Library.
