THIS PROGRAM WAS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED TO BE HELD IN PERSON BUT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON ZOOM.

Keynote address by Dr. Bert Fisher, principal of Lithochimeia Environmental Geoscience Consultants.

Great Decisions is America’s largest civic-education program on U.S. foreign policy and global affairs. The Great Decisions program is produced by the Foreign Policy Association to provide guidelines for starting and promoting Great Decisions discussion groups. It began in 1954 and the program has been active in Tulsa through the Friends of the Tulsa City-County Libraries for close to 50 years. There is a briefing book that highlights nine of the most thought-provoking foreign-policy challenges facing Americans. It provides background information, current data and policy options for each. Most importantly though is that it serves as the focal text for discussion groups. The book costs $28 and is available for purchase with cash or check. Email friends@tulsalibrary.org for more details.

The 2022 topics are: "Changing Demographics," "Outer Space," "Climate Change," "Russia and the U.S.," "Myanmar and ASEAN," "Quad Alliance," "Drug Policy in Latin America," "Industrial Policy" and "Biden's Agenda."
