ANNOUNCEMENTS

The School of Public Policy and Global Affairs is excited to share its 2019-2020 Annual Report with you. The report highlights our school's strengths and our faculty-led research projects that have had positive impacts on communities and regions around the world, including Asia. 

► Save the Date for "Hush... It's All in the Past": Exploring the Silenced Narratives around Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Asia

Everybody is welcome on October 6 from 4 - 6 PM (PST). This webinar, hosted by the Institute of Asian Research, aims to stimulate conversation around conflict-related "sexual violence" as a way to remind ourselves that "sexual violence" remains a major issue that is often overlooked. We hope to inspire people to educate themselves and join in the movement in part to prevent "sexual violence" perpetrated by the state.

Details on registration to come.
