Not assigned to embassies, but then ... assigned to where? The answer is -- in almost all cases -- either to a U.S. Consulate (or Consulate General) or to a U.S. Mission to an international organization. Stephen Dubrow will continue discussing his Foreign Service career, both early and late, but now as it developed in two consulates (Zagreb and Lubumbashi) and two missions (to the European Union and to the Organization for the Security and Cooperation in Europe). His accounts will be "up-close and personal," emphasizing how, as a diplomat, working with relatively small but significantly influential publics in localities or in the confines of an important organization, he conducted his everyday life as part and parcel of his professional responsibilities. -

For the first time in the history of the annual American Jewish Committee (AJC) State of Antisemitism Report, the findings released in 2025 reflecting attitudes from the previous year showed that over half of American Jews changed their behavior out of fear of antisemitism. This was before tragic events including the murder of two Jews outside a Jewish event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC and the firebombing of a walk raising awareness of Israeli hostages sponsored by the Jewish community of Boulder. AJC Regional Director Joel Schwitzer will discuss the latest report and provide insights into how antisemitism is playing out in multiple settings and what American civil society can do about it. -

The American political experiment was embarked upon by a coalition of small states seeking freedom from monarchical authoritarianism. It evolved over two and a half centuries of domestic conflict, constitutional reform, legislation, executive behavior, and judicial action into a much more democratic polity based upon the rule of law and cooperation among different levels of government. The session will explore significant contemporary challenges and threats to its evolved democratic nature and its prospects. Can the federal structure and democratic practice withstand these challenges? -

Two years after every presidential election, citizens of the United States vote to elect a new House of Representatives. Despite considerable effort on behalf of legislators to campaign for reelection, members of the president's party invariably lose seats in Congress and often lose majority control, as well. What explains this regularity in American politics? Why are political scientists so confident in this law of US midterm elections?
