The Pearson Institute Academic Symposium
In addition to the announcement event on campus, two satellite events helped celebrate the launch of The Pearson Institute with UChicago alumni and friends from around the world.
At UChicago’s Center in Delhi, C. Raja Mohan, Distinguished Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation and Non-Resident Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, discussed his latest book, Modi’s World: Expanding India’s Sphere of Influence and the challenges India faces in navigating a rapidly transforming regional and international landscape. His talk was followed by a live webcast of the announcement in Chicago.
At UChicago’s Center in Paris, a live webcast of the announcement began a conversation on the transformative power of data-driven analysis to address the greatest foreign policy challenges of our time. The event featured talks by Christopher Woodruff, Professor of Economics at Warwick University, and Obama Administration policymaker Christopher Smart, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and former Special Assistant to the President for International Economics.
