Science Pub heads to Sisters! Political science takes center stage at this Science Pub at The Belfry. Explore how in recent years, U.S. foreign policy shifted from post-WWII “Pax Americana,” which promised peaceful international relations and an open economy, yet with frequent interventions abroad, to “America First," which is premised on nationalism and highly selective engagement.

What is the history of “America First”? How have past isolationism and global engagement shaped the present? What have been the grand strategies that U.S. policymakers have adopted and adapted to address contemporary challenges? What does this history suggest for the future?

Christopher Nichols, director of the OSU Center for the Humanities and associate professor of history, will address these crucial questions with an eye to history, policies and ideas.
