SUMMARY:Think Tank – Is the United Nations Fit for Purpose? - Cutting Edge University Interdisciplinary Perspectives & Debate With Dr Nicholas Grant From University of East Anglia & Dr Jeremy Larkins From Goldsmiths\, University of London
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nOn our United Nations Think Tank Panel\, we welcome: \n\nDr Jeremy Larkins . Jeremy is Lecturer in International Relations at Goldsmiths\, University of London. His main teaching and research interests lie in the field of IR theory. His primary research area is in the cultural and intellectual history of international political theory.\n\n\nDr Nicholas Grant. Nicholas is Associate Professor of International History at University of East Anglia\, a historian of the twentieth century United States\, researching race\, internationalism and transnational activism. \n\n\n\n  \nThink Tank is a series of interdisciplinary webinars for students (16+ pre-university)\, engaging academics and students in debate. We tackle some of the pressing national and global issues being faced today. \nOur panel of academics will represent different disciplines and universities\, including University of East Anglia and Goldsmiths\, University of London. Each will have 5 minutes at the beginning of the session to outline the key issues\, as they see them\, relating to Is the United Nations Fit for Purpose? \nAhead of the event\, we invite students to submit questions and arguments HERE within the overall session theme which\, following the introductory inputs from our academics\, are then either posed by the student themselves or by the host\, depending upon each student’s preference. \nThe academics will then share their perspectives with plenty of opportunity for students to engage in the discussion. The event will progress in a similar way to ‘Question Time’. \nWoven into the discussion\, the university academics are encouraged to shed light on how undergraduates engage in these critical issues during their studies. \n  \n  \n\nOur events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom\, or students and teachers can take part as individuals\, either from school or from home. There is no charge to take part. \nAs a live\, participative event\, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event\, where available. \n  \nSuitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students with an interest in the UN\, either as part of their studies\, their university aspirations\, personal interests\, or related citizenship studies. This is suitable for both groups or individual students and teachers. \nPreparation/Pre-Reading: Students are asked to consider the theme and think about some of the key issues prior to submitting questions and arguments for our panel to address live. These can be submitted HERE. \nThe IT Setup: The event will be run on Zoom and participants will be able to join using laptops\, tablets\, and mobile devices. If you are joining as a school group\, we recommend connecting with one device and projecting on to a whiteboard. You will be able to interact with the university via typed comments and questions and/or via microphone. Full details will be sent to those who have registered (see below) prior to the event. \nBooking a Place: This is free for schools and colleges.
