International Programs (IP) at the University of Iowa presents WorldCanvass® once a month during the academic year. Programs are recorded before a live audience at the Voxman Music Building on the corner of Burlington and Clinton Streets. Joan Kjaer hosts the series and, with her guests, explores topics that are international in scope and central to our understanding of how individuals fit into the global landscape. The programs are recorded by UI Office of Strategic Communication staff for later broadcast on YouTube, iTunes, and the Public Radio Exchange. These monthly programs, which take place from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in the Voxman Recital Hall, are free and open to the public. View our current season below or browse past programs here.
