International Issues Discussion Series

ay. The IID was founded in 2005 by two Ryerson students and two faculty members, Dr. Dale Carl (Business) and Dr. Arne Kislenko (History) who is the current faculty advisor. Some of our past talks include presentations on United States foreign policy, terrorism, the Middle East, the rise of modern China, Russia under Putin, UN peacekeeping in Sudan, global warming and climate change, water management and conservation, the 2008 U.S. presidential election, and the international politics of oil. We are currently devising a programme of events for the coming academic year, but welcome any and all suggestions, recommended speakers, and other ideas. For the 2020-2021 academic term, the IID will be hosted by Matthew Brown, Vamika Jain, and Yonatan Lavrukov, students representing the History, Philosophy, and International Relations programmes within the Ryerson and University of Toronto communities, and supervised by Dr. Arne Kislenko.
