Hi PREEA Members,
PREEA's first event of the semester, LGBTQ Rights in Russia and East Europe has been rescheduled for Wednesday, February 12th from 12:00 to 1:00 pm in the ECR.
About the event:
Please join Professionals in Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Affairs, with the support of the LGBTQ Resource Center, for a lunch and discussion of LGBTQ rights in Russia and East Europe with Ambassador András Simonyi, Managing Director of the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins SAIS; and Rebecca Parks, Associate Director of Global Engagement at Human Rights Campaign. The panel will address issues such as gay rights at the Sochi Olympics and regional legislation against gay propaganda and marriage. Following the discussion, the speakers will take questions from the audience. Lunch will be served.
Our next event, Rosia Montana and Resource Management, is coming up on Wednesday, February 19th from 12:00 to 1:30pm in the Mortara Center Conference Room.
About the event:
In cities across Romania, a proposed open-pit gold mine project in the village of Rosia Montana has sparked massive protests since September 2013. Gabriel Resources, the Canadian corporation that holds the license for this mining project, plans to use cyanide to extract gold from what will become Europe’s largest open-pit gold mine. With only 6% of expected revenues from the mine going to the Romanian state and accusations of corruption in the licensing process, these protests are about much more than environmental protection. Please join PREEA, with the support of the GSO, for a discussion of resource management and the protests that have been dubbed “The Romanian Autumn” with distinguished speakers Professor Dennis Deletant, visiting Ion Ratiu Professor of Romanian Studies, CERES; Professor Theodore Moran, Marcus Wallenberg Chair in International Business and Finance and Founder and Director of the Landegger Program in International Business Diplomacy; and Nicolae Stefanuta, Masters in Public Management Candidate, McCourt School of Public Policy and Rosia Montana activist.
Hope to see you all there!
