You are warmly invited to join the Great Decisions community discussion series for our second event! Cantay Çalişkan, assistant professor of mathematics and computer science at Ohio Wesleyan University, will present a lecture titled “Cyber Conflicts and Geopolitics” at noon on March 1 at the Fellowship Hall of William Street United Methodist Church, 28 W. William St., Delaware.
Çalişkan joined the OWU faculty in fall 2018. His dissertation focused on the flow of money and interests in American and Scandinavian policymaking by bringing aspects of policy choices, political connections and societal perceptions together. His research interests include computational social science, renewable energy, social media, U.S. Congress and networks of lobbying.
Attendees are welcome to bring a brown-bag lunch. Complimentary coffee and tea will be provided.
The Great Decisions Discussion Program, a free community discussion series, is designed to encourage debate and discussion of the role of the United States in world affairs. The program provides materials that help people reach informed opinions on issues and encourages them to participate in the foreign-policy process. Following the discussion, participants will have the option of completing a survey, prepared by the Foreign Policy Association, to add their opinions to thousands of others across the nation. Survey results will be sent to executive and legislative policymakers in Washington, D.C.
