Is the world getting turned on its head? As the US is redefining its foreign policy, the European Union is confronting the challenges of Brexit. Amid the tumult, world leaders are hurriedly repositioning themselves to deal with the new world.

Join the Government and Justice Studies Department for a timely conversation with Lady Catherine Ashton, moderated by Teri Shultz.

Lady Catherine Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, is a life peer in the House of Lords. From 2009-2014, she served as the European Union's first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
