WorldOregon presents the 2020 International Speaker Series: Bridging Perspectives
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, WorldOregon’s International Speaker Series is one of the nation’s premier platforms for international affairs. For two decades, the series has put you in the room with the global leaders, visionaries, and inspiring voices that are changing our world. And this year is no different, presenting a broad spectrum of the people, the big ideas, and the issues framing our role on the world stage.
This year series’ theme “Bridging Perspectives” seeks to look at an inspiring and balanced array of ideas and issues, including public service, national security and challenges for the U.S. as a global leader, human rights, and – in honor of the series 20th anniversary – a look at one Oregonian’s lessons in covering the world.
Nadia Murad: The Last Girl-My Story of Courage and Resilience
2018 Nobel Peace Prize Winner/Human Rights Activist
With deep compassion and a calm and steely demeanor, Nadia Murad tells of her harrowing ordeal as a captive of the Islamic State, her ultimately inspiring story of escape, and her new life as the voice of Iraq’s Yazidi people–an inspiring call to action, a testament to the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country and a family torn apart by war.
