His book, “Channels of Power: The UN Security Council and U.S. Statecraft in Iraq” won two awards. Thompson enjoys teaching and has been honored with two teaching awards at OSU.
The discussion will take place at noon on Fri., March 8 at the Fellowship Hall of William Street United Methodist Church, 28 W. William St., Delaware. Attendees are welcome to bring a brown-bag lunch. Complimentary coffee and tea will be provided. 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.
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.
