The Summer Symposium on Foreign Policy
July 31-August 11
The Osgood Center’s Summer Symposium offers an in-depth, interactive analysis of the evolution of US foreign policy, international economics, and current issues in international affairs. Participants will gain a better understanding of international affairs and how to forge a career path in this field. This Symposium will focus in 2022 on the twin challenges of war in Ukraine and the potential for conflict in Asia.
The forty-second annual Symposium will be hybrid in 2022. In-person, participants will be in Washington, D.C. at the Elliott School of International Affairs and online participants can watch and interact over Zoom. Participants will meet analysts from think tanks, international institutions, and government agencies located in Washington, D.C., and New York. Among them will be the Brookings Institution, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Hudson Institute, the Woodrow Wilson Center for International scholars, the Department of State, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and more.
Participants will also interact with admissions officials, former students, and professors from programs at George Washington’s Elliott School, Georgetown’s Walsh School, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and the American University School of International Service.
Osgood expects attendees from around the globe in 2022, including the U.S., China, Germany, Jordan, the Philippines, Viet Nam, and Canada.
