This is the Policy School's fifth "open classroom" series, through which we select one graduate-level seminar and open it up to the public free-of-charge. Each week we feature prominent guest lecturers with real-world expertise and experience. You are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions.

Barry Bluestone, Dean of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, and Bill Dickens, Distinguished Professor of Economics and Social Policy will serve as our hosts and core faculty for this semester as we explore the dynamic interplay of globalization and its impact on economics, security, and culture.

Remaining Lectures 

SPECIAL NOTE: We are extending the Open Classroom Series by one week, adding a special session on April 28th -- Images and Stories from Haiti. We were approached by the Boston Globe offering to share their amazing collection of recent stories and images from Haiti. They discovered far more than they have room to publish and wanted to share what they've captured with the community.
