5/26 (Online) 9:00 AM - The Unfolding Catastrophe in Gaza and the Deepening Regional and Global Crisis (SHAPE)

Sunday, May 26, 9:00 AM EDT - Online

The unfolding catastrophe in Gaza and the deepening regional and global crisis

Sponsored by Saving Humanity and Planet Earth (SHAPE) (theshapeproject.com)

Set against the backdrop of the killing fields of the Ukraine war, and the world's dismal failure to act on climate change, rising tensions in US-China relations, we pose the question:

Are we in the midst of a rapidly deepening geopolitical and geoeconomic crisis?

If so, what are the underlying currents, and what are the implications for global governance? What do we make of the current impotence of the United Nations? Are there creative ways of responding to this crisis? Who has agency in framing and advancing such responses?

This webinar brings together a diverse and uniquely equipped group of intellectuals and practitioners for a lively, thought-provoking, even provocative conversation.

Speakers: Susan Abulhawa, Ang Swee Chai, Richard Falk, Chandra Muzaffar, Joseph Camilleri - Moderator Penny Green
