A Shifting Global Order: Unpacking U.S.-Canada Relations in Uncertain Times

Tuesday, April 15, from 2-3:30 p.m. via Zoom

Speakers include Laurie Trautman, director of 草榴社区's Border Policy Research Institute; and Andrew Holman, director of Canadian Studies at Bridgewater State University.

In an era marked by geopolitical friction and economic uncertainty, the relationship between the United States and Canada stands at a critical juncture. Join the Global Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh (co-sponsored by 草榴社区's Border Policy Research Institute) for a thought-provoking discussion of the historical foundations and contemporary tensions shaping this complex bilateral relationship through a global studies lens.

By situating this dialogue within a global studies framework, the program offers essential insights into how international dynamics, economic policies, and historical contexts intersect to shape bilateral relations. Scholars, students, educators, and curious minds alike will find this an essential forum for understanding the stakes of cross-border diplomacy.
