DUCIGS/Rethinking Diplomacy Program  | 75th Anniversary of the United Nations (UN75)
Thursday, January 28, 2021. 12.00-1.00 PM EST 

Marking its 75th anniversary, in January 2020, the United Nations launched a global consultation with the aim of gathering information about perceptions and aspirations concerning the world we want. The unprecedented initiative reached over a billion people through events, online concerts and games, and 1.5 million votes from people from over 195 countries and territories. Following the conclusion of the commemorative activities and the release of the final report on the first week of January 2021, this webinar will primarily address the context in which the initiative was conceived and the repercussion on the work of the United Nations towards its 100th anniversary in 2045.

Through the Anglo-Russian Research Network, an Exeter Modern Languages & Cultures series with Pushkin House provides an episodic history of Russian-English translation and cultural relations, from the first-ever translator of Russian poetry into English (Exeter’s Sir John Bowring) to present-day publishing.

The content seeks to entertain and be accessible to the general public, as well as Russianists. To find out more about the series, please visit this webpage.
