The Kahane Program also hosts and supports UN-related events at Â鶹ÊÓƵ such as United Nations Week each February.
United Nations Week
Each February, the Kahane Program hosts a week of events related to the United Nations. This week includes lectures and presentations from prominent United Nations scholars and diplomats, interactive events such as the showing of virtual reality films, and a panel of returning Â鶹ÊÓƵ-at-the-U.N. interns to present their experiences from the previous semester.
Learning about the United Nations Through Culture and Cuisine
The Kahane Program supports initiatives by either students or faculty to delve into a topic or country through its cuisine. This program uses using food, from a specific country, as a point to bring together Diplomacy and World Affairs professors and students to discuss the United Nations past or current presence in that country. The purpose is to explore the intersection between, conflicts, cuisine, and communities. Students are encouraged to initiate these dinners, working to create a short reading list and invite fellow students and professors to join them in a discussion over dinner about their selected topic.
Other Speakers
The Kahane Program hosts speakers on topics related to the United Nations throughout the academic year.
