Institute of Politics

David Axelrod, former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, invites you to join him in Paris for a conversation on the rise of populism in the U.S. and Europe, fraying relationships among Western countries, and the global implications of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine with Clarissa Ward, CNN's chief international correspondent, and Roger Cohen, The New York Times Paris Bureau Chief. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments to be served following the panel discussion. Made possible by a gift from Suzy and Sadek Wahba. The Institute of Politics is a nonpartisan organization committed to fostering a culture of civil dialogue and free expression on the University of Chicago campus and beyond. Through our public events, civic engagement opportunities and internship program, we cultivate in our students a passion for public service and active engagement in our democracy.
