The End of American Hegemony? The Trump Administration and the Future of American Power.
Join us for a discussion which promises to give important insights into a globally relevant topic led by our Chancellor, Dr Fiona Hill, at the Waterside Building in Durham.
Following two successful Chancellor-in-Conversation events, a third event with Dr Fiona Hill is taking place on Tuesday 10 June from 2.30pm - 4pm.
Dr Hill is an acclaimed foreign affairs specialist, author and former presidential advisor to George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
Speaker update
Dr Hill's main guest was scheduled to be pre-eminent economic and military historian Paul Kennedy CBE FBA. He is sadly, no longer able to attend due to ill health. He is disappointed not to be able to take part.
Paul’s contribution will remain evident during the event. We have worked closely with him to devise the panel. We hope you will join us in wishing him a speedy recovery.
Dr Hill will continue to lead the discussion with panellists from our expert academic members of staff. She will be joined by:
