The Education of an Idealist: Ambassador Samantha Power in conversation with Patrick Radden Keefe
March 31, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
This event has been cancelled.
New York University is implementing a number of actions to keep the NYU community healthy and to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, including strongly discouraging holding non-essential, large gatherings. These measures are designed to protect the well-being of our community, including our guests.
Join us for the 2020 Guarini Government Lecture, featuring Samantha Power, the 28th United States Ambassador to the United Nations and Professor of Practice at Harvard Law School and Harvard Kennedy School.
In her memoir—which traces her path from her childhood in Dublin to her years as a war correspondent in the Balkans to her service as a Cabinet official in the administration of President Barack Obama—Power addresses the power and responsibility of the individual in confronting challenges to our security, democracy, and shared humanity.
Discussion 12:15 P.M. – 1:30 P.M.
