EVANSTON - Northwestern University’s Buffett Institute for Global Studies will convene a panel of faculty experts Thursday to discuss global issues awaiting the Trump administration and how campaign rhetoric may or may not translate into policy.
The event is taking place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 5 in the Guild Lounge of Scott Hall, 601 University Place.
With few specifics to scrutinize and much uncertainty, it is uncertain what will happen in relation to China, the Middle East and Latin America, and how the U.S. will deal with important issues like global climate change, immigration and human rights.
