The Weatherhead Center seeks to connect scholars and practitioners in the belief that each group has much to contribute to the other. Discussions among faculty, Fellows, graduate students, and visiting scholars are a normal part of the Center’s life. The WCFIA Roundtable on World Affairs is one attempt to foster such discussions in an organized fashion. The roundtable is also designed to take advantage of the considerable expertise of Center Fellows and other affiliates, who are usually asked to take the lead in presenting their ideas on an issue of current or continuing importance in world affairs.

The roundtables convene twice each semester and are chaired by the Center director. A panel of two or three Center affiliates, including Fellows, usually begins the discussion with brief remarks on the topic of the day. A general discussion follows, led by the director, with the goal of encouraging analytical approaches to the research interests of the Fellows, with the participation of faculty, visitors, students, and staff.
