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.

Join us for an informal event to meet and learn from Pui Shen Yoong, a Senior Economist at the World Bank in Washington DC. Shen has spent a decade at the World Bank, covering various countries across Asia (Maldives, Indonesia and her native Malaysia) and Latin America (Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay).
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). This will be a good opportunity to explore what careers in multilateral organizations such as the World Bank could look like and to ask questions. This is not a formal recruiting event.

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?

A conversation in Spanish with Alina Duarte
With the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, the recent U.S. invasion of Venezuela, and the current blockade on Cuba, several Latin American countries have entered a new stage of threats to their sovereignty. In this context of vulnerability, the dearth of anticolonial, non-diasporic Latin American perspectives on the news we consume becomes increasingly problematic.
