Senator Richard Lugar

Representing Indiana from 1977 to 2013, Senator Richard Lugar was one of our country's most admired specialists in international affairs and a great believer in bipartisan governance, a commitment seemingly in short supply today. Lee Feinstein, U.S. ambassador to Poland from 2009 to 2012, is the founding dean of Indiana University’s School of Global and International Studies, where Lugar is a professor of practice. Come hear these experienced and sophisticated observers discuss the world today and the role of the United States in it.
