We are seeking student participants to join in an intimate conversation with the speaker prior to her evening keynote address. There is no set agenda for the conversation, rather it will be directed by student questions. If you're interested in the intersection of international relations, journalism, public policy, history, law, and current affairs - we hope you'll join us for this opportunity.

Speakers
Julia Ioffe
Julia Ioffe, a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a former Russian correspondent for The New Yorker, is a leading authority on Russian-U.S. relations. Born in Moscow, Ioffe’s family moved to America when she was seven years old.
Ioffe conveys Russian-American relations from both sides with clarity and insight, providing colorful, character-rich discussions of Russia’s socio-political structure, its tempestuous historical relationship with America and how Russia will affect U.S. politics and policy.
What does Russia really want? American speculation on Russia’s actions —what it has or hasn’t done, what it might do—is a major political topic; the guesswork is deafening. Is Russia as cohesive a force as we think? To what degree have their threats to U.S. democracy been successful?
Ioffe, author of the illuminating Atlantic cover story, “What Putin Really Wants,” and the forthcoming book Russia Girl, has emerged as the premier voice to access Russia’s intentions and what they mean for America.
