Join Oregon Humanities staff at HQ in La Grande on Sunday, November 10, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for a live screening of a conversation about geopolitics, public service, and American power with Ben Rhodes, a former national security and diplomacy advisor to President Barack Obama, host of Pod Save the World, and author of After the Fall: The Rise of Authoritarianism in the World We've Made, about geopolitics, public service, and American power.

How much should the public know or understand about global affairs and foreign policy? How do the US government’s actions on the world stage consider the public interest? Join us to dig into these questions and more.

Tickets

This live screening is free of charge. No tickets required.
