Great Decisions 2019 -- Paul Greiling

LLCC is happy to announce that Great Decisions is coming back. Great Decisions was the first course that was offered by LLCC back in 2012.

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. The program encourages debate and discussion of the important global issues of our time, using study materials from the Foreign Policy Association (independent and non-partisan) to help reach informed opinions. Each year, Great Decisions highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans. Great Decisions 2019 will be divided into two courses, discussing four of the topics from the Great Decisions 2019 Briefing Book in each course.

To fully participate in this course, each participant must obtain their own Great Decisions 2019 Briefing Book from the Foreign Policy Association.. The book costs $32, plus shipping, at the Foreign Policy Association website. We understand that the Foreign Policy Association ships very quickly. It is a good idea to order the book as soon as you register for the course.

The four sessions for Part One of this course are:

1. Refugees and Global Migration Friday 2/22 1pm-3pm
2. The Middle East: Regional Disorder Friday 3/1 1pm 3pm
3. Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future? Friday 3/8 1pm 3pm
4. The Rise of Populism in Europe Friday 3/15 1pm 3pm

This is a very participatory class: each week's will be led by a class member or members.

Note: The same Briefing Book will be used for both Part 1 and Part 2 of this course. Part 2 of this course will be offered later in the year.

Registering for this course by buying a ticket will admit you to all four sessions of this course.

Paul Greiling has led the Great Decisions class in the past. Dr. Greiling was a Professor at UCLA and Manager of a research microelectronics Laboratory @Hughes Research Labs
