Please join us for lunch and discussion to explore the evolving alliances in today’s trade debates. Our distinguished panel will examine how civil society groups have aligned to influence international trade in recent years, particularly around the newly-negotiated NAFTA agreement. The panel will also share insights on the role of trade in the US midterm elections.

Tamara Kay, associate professor of global affairs and sociology at Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs, will share findings from her new book Trade Battles: Activism and the Politicization of International Trade Policy (Oxford).
