In the latest event in our Polarization: Impacts + Solutions series, Ambassador Brooke Anderson '86 will be in conversation with history faculty member Philipp Nielsen.
The current moment in global affairs above all seems to be one of challenges and uncertainty, compounded by the U.S. administration’s radical repositioning on development aid, diversity, global conflicts, and climate change. Drawing on her experience as a former diplomat at the United Nations and as a key member of the team that negotiated the Iran nuclear agreement, Ambassador Brooke Anderson ’86 will provide perspective on the effects of the new U.S. policies on global priorities and challenges and where there might be opportunities to engage in new ways.
Brooke D. Anderson is an experienced leader and an accomplished diplomat, negotiator, and strategist. In her various roles, she has navigated high-stakes challenges, carried out sensitive diplomatic missions, and achieved results on the most complex global and national issues. Brooke is currently President of Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company founded by Melinda French Gates dedicated to advancing social progress and expanding women’s power and influence in the United States and around the world.
This event is free and open to the public. Guests are invited to join the college community on campus or join via Zoom.
