Great Decisions, a series of informal conversations about foreign policy, returns to James A. Tuttle Library, 45 Main St. in Antrim, starting Sept. 7.

Attendees can voice their views or just remain silent. No special expertise in foreign policy is needed, only an interest in the country’s future abroad. Civility and mutual respect are expected.

Conversations take place from Thursdays 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the second floor of the library. The fall 2023 schedule is as follows:

— Sept. 7: Energy Geopolitics.

— Sept. 14: War Crimes.  

— Sept. 21: China and the U.S.

— Sept. 28: Economic Warfare.

— Oct. 5: Politics in Latin America.

— Oct. 12: Global Famine.

— Oct. 19: Iran at a Crossroads.

— Oct. 26: Climate Migration.

Participants may order the Great Decisions manual from the Foreign Policy Association at 800-477-5836 or aahmed@fpa.org. The manual contains short articles which set each meeting’s topic. There will also be three Great Decisions manuals on reserve for those who prefer a free edition. For information, send email to Steve Ullman at stephenhullman@gmail.com.
