COURTESY OF THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS SYMPOSIUM
Because this year’s symposium will be entirely virtual, the group hopes that events will be more accessible to students and community members.
The Foreign Affairs Symposium (FAS) announced on Feb. 15 that the theme of its 2021 symposium will be “Where Do We Go From Here?” The lineup features activist Angela Davis, Yemeni human rights defender Radhya Al-Mutawakel,
Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, rapper Noname and a panel of experts on the Uyghur Crisis.
FAS Co-Executive Director Margaret Hanson explained that each speaker will touch on a different issue that COVID-19 has exacerbated. 
“[Our theme] is a reflection on our past year and the tragic events that have unfolded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the ongoing injustices that the virus has exposed. ‘Where Do We Go From Here’ refers to this collective uncertainty about the future and how we should organize for a more just and sustainable world,“ she said.
