Ohio University’s George Washington Forum will feature a webinar on Conservative Internationalism on Wednesday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom. The webinar will feature Professor of Political Science and International Affairs Emeritus Henry R. Nau at the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University.
Nau will talk about what America’s ideal foreign policy should be, arguing that America should pursue a policy of conservative internationalism rather than nationalism, realism, neoconservatism or liberal internationalism. Conservative internationalism is a way of thinking about America’s role in the world, and according to Nau, conservative internationalism embraces the goals of liberal internationalism (reforming the international system, not settling for the status quo), the means of realism (use force during negotiations, not as a last resort) and the purpose of nationalism (a world of sovereign, but free nations, not global international i
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, both public and private institutions are finally grappling with the insidiousness of sexual assault and harassment within their confines.
It therefore comes as no surprise that the Canadian military, a male-dominated institution, has been plagued by a number of scandals involving high-ranking officials.

In March, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan testified to the House of Commons defence committee, insisting that adding more women to the Canadian military was a proven way of challenging toxic masculinity and creating culture change. Just days later, Lt.-Col. Eleanor Taylor, deputy commander of the 36th Brigade Group, resigned her post amid persistent allegations of sexual misconduct among high-ranking military officials.

Walker said many of the sessions from the event series will be available in the coming weeks for the public to view online.
Elliott School of International Affairs officials launched an annual event series last week focused on diversity, inclusion and equity.
Jonathan Walker, the assistant dean for student services, diversity and inclusion for the Elliott School, said the school’s “Inclusive Excellence Week” covered salient topics in international affairs, like the ongoing violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, and created a space for “communities to come together around shared identity.” The three-day event series was developed by the Elliott School’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion and a planning committee comprised of students, faculty, staff, campus partners and the Council on Diversity and Inclusion.

Students in the Elliott School of International Affairs launched a consortium last month to promote women in the study of national security.
The D.C. Student Consortium on Women, Peace and Security is made up of 18 universities throughout the DMV partnering with a nonpartisan working group studying women in peace building and seeks to share expertise on women’s and gender issues in security and foreign policy. Students said members of the consortium study subjects and identity groups that are often overlooked within security and foreign policy, like the LGBTQ community, before writing and submitting policy briefs to members of Congress and other policymakers.
