Great Decisions 2025 with Vincent Ferraro In-Person

Join us for Great Decisions 2025!
Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. Every year, eight topics are chosen by a panel of experts. Before each of the eight programs, participants are asked to read the corresponding section in the Briefing Book. We will meet to watch a video then discuss the week's topic.

This year, we are excited to welcome Vinnie Ferraro as our Facilitator. Mr. Ferraro holds MIA in International Relations from Columbia University and a PhD in PolySci from MIT. He was on the Editorial Board at the New England Journal of Political Science, and has a long list of publications on topics related to Alternative Energy, International Relations, and Global Poverty, among others. For more information on Mr. Ferraro, please visit: Vincent A. Ferraro | Mount Holyoke College

Meetings will be held every other Tuesday, 4:30-6, beginning Feb. 11.
Please register and purchase your Briefing Book ahead of time. Briefing Books are $35. We accept cash or check (made out to the Richard Salter Storrs Library). You will be notified by email when the Briefing Books are available which is usually toward the end of January.

This Week's Topic:Mar. 11: U.S.-China Relations - Washington’s relations with Beijing have reached an ominous low ebb. Both American political parties have identified China as the country’s preeminent geopolitical challenger and, in the eyes of many, a systemic threat. What is driving this deterioration of Sino-American relations, and what are America’s strategic options in the face of Chinese power and ambition?
