Welcome to the Global Conversations Series: Looking at World Affairs Through A Humanities Lens.

Using the Foreign Policy Association's Great Decisions topics, this six-part discussion series explores how the intersectionality of global issues and humanities can lead to a more empathetic community. In each global affairs conversation, we will answer the following three questions:

What role does the humanities play in fostering empathy with this week's topic?
What is your personal experience with the topic?
How might the topic impact individuals in our local community?

Tonight, we will be discussing NATO's Future.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has come under increased scrutiny, not because NATO troops are involved in the conflict but because of its role in relations between Russia and its neighbors. Will expanding membership in NATO protect countries, or will it further provoke Russia?

Tonight, we will examine the ethics of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the various scenarios that could mean for people in Utah, the U.S., and around the world.
