How effective were these sanctions and what can we learn from their use going forward? Elizabeth Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes in the Biden Administration, played a key role in the sanctions effort and will discuss these issues with Q and A afterwards.

She holds a Bachelor’s in International Politics and Economics from Middlebury College (‘12) and a Master’s in International Economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (‘17).

A workshop for people smart and brave enough to be wrong.
We live in a world full of hot takes, strong opinions, and people who are very sure they’re right. The problem? Certainty makes connection harder. Certainty Is Overrated is an interactive workshop that treats curiosity as a serious (and understanding) superpower.
Through games, conversations, and thought experiments, you will explore how curiosity fuels imagination, softens snap judgment, and opens the door to empathy, understanding, and freer thinking.

Iran has entered one of the most consequential crises in its recent history when the United States and Israel launched coordinated and unprovoked air strikes across the country on February 28. These strikes killed hundreds, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran since 1989. The country has retaliated with missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases, Israel, and other targets in the Gulf countries, raising the risk of a full-scale regional war. How did we get here?
