• Register for the Event

Offered under the auspices of the Towson University Journal of International Affairs, the goal of this speaker series is to shed light on a timely issue in the general field of international relations, broadly construed. In keeping with the spirit of Dr. Eric Belgrad, longtime Chair of TU’s Political Science Department, in whose honor it was created, the speakers will seek to guide the audience to think more clearly about the topic of their talk rather than present predetermined conclusions meant for the sterile kinds of ideological “debate” that is unfortunately so prevalent today. 

• Engagement: Senator Cardin to serve as a speaker.

Student-led event. More details to come.

Join us for the inaugural annual event of the Cardin Center, a compelling discussion on freedom of information and its role in sustaining a healthy democracy. This capstone event of the Democracy for the Future series will bring together leading voices in journalism, law, and public policy to explore transparency, accountability, and the public’s right to know in an evolving information landscape.

• Time: 5 - 8 p.m.
