German composer, Matthias Krüger, will lead a lecture about music composition across national borders and between disciplines. He will highlight the rich dialogue between artists of different nationalities, as well as between forms, in this case, between choreographers and composers. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in experiential exercises as we ask: How do we translate between cultures and disciplines when composing original material?

Over the past two decades, China has increased its investment across the African continent, leading to economic development. As much of this economic development is located, where fragile ecosystems intersect with weak governance, the resultant environmental costs can be high. Mustapha Manneh, West Africa Regional Editor of the China Dialogue Trust, will speak about the social, financial, and environmental impact that Chinese fishing investments are having in The Gambia.

Speaker: Professor Ian Barrow
Hot Topics Lunch organized by RSAB under the RCGA by the Rohatyn Center

Diplomat Thomas Leary served in Russia at two very different periods: 1999-2004 and 2015-2019. His first term there came during the growing decline in U.S.-Russian relations and the difficult aftermath of Russia’s 1998 financial crisis. By the time Mr. Leary returned to St. Petersburg as U.S. Consul General in 2015, the freeze between the two countries was deepening because of Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea. Meanwhile at home Russia had become both much more prosperous and more authoritarian.

Community Health Workers (CHWs), the majority of whom are women, are the bedrock of primary care provision across the world but are often employed at the bottom of health hierarchies where they have little voice. We developed a policymaking “Shark Tank” competition for female CHWs working on polio vaccination in Peshawar, Pakistan. Structured processes can allow the least powerful actors in global health structures to suggest innovations that work for them.
