What we’re about
If you are interested in geopolitics, you’ve come to the right place! In the Geopolitical Forum, we learn and share knowledge, views and perspectives on foreign countries, various regions of the world, global affairs and international relations. By looking out to the world, perhaps we can also put US domestic politics in a proper context.
When you come and sit with us, the world is yours to explore. Enjoy!
Starting in January 2025, all events feature speakers for keynote. We also have held two formal debates! And further exciting growth is in store for the future. We hope you can be part of it.

Buffett First Friday Lunch | Syria After Assad with Wendy Pearlman
720 University Place, 720 University Place, Second Floor, Evanston, IL 60208, Evanston, IL, USSyria After Assad
Join the Roberta Buffett Institute for a faculty research lunchtime talk series on the first Friday of every month. Faculty members give a half-hour talk intended for a broad, multidisciplinary audience of Northwestern students, faculty, and staff, followed by a conversational Q&A. Lunch is provided beginning at 12:15 p.m.
January's Buffett First Friday Lunch will feature Wendy Pearlman, Jane Long Professor of Arts & Sciences and Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University's Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences.
In this talk, Professor Pearlman will examine a pivotal turning point in Syria’s history: the collapse of the Assad regime after decades of dictatorship and war. Drawing from more than 500 interviews with displaced Syrians featured in her two recent books, We Crossed A Bridge and It Trembled and The Home I Worked to Make, as well as observations from her recent trip to Syria, Pearlman will put the collapse of the Assad regime in a broader political context and consider what is at stake, in human terms.
This event is hosted by the Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs. We from the Geopolitical Forum can continue the conversation and hang out past 1:45, the scheduled end time of the event, perhaps over a coffee.
