WorldCanvass, International Programs’ unique, internationally focused discussion program, brings scholars, community members, and thought leaders together before a live audience to consider questions and issues of the day from a wide range of perspectives.
Our interconnected world and the rich scholarly resources present on our campus offer endless opportunities for informed, inspiring, and reflective conversation. WorldCanvass host Joan Kjaer skillfully guides the conversation, engaging her guests in a cross-disciplinary exploration of the program theme.
WorldCanvass is free and open to the public.
