 Beyond the Headlines: Critical Issues Impacting Our World
Our 2021-2022 WACU Series continues on December 16,
live and in-person, lunch is included.
The previous administration launched a trade war against China. The current administration, to the surprise of many, has not dismantled the center-piece of the war, tariffs on some Chinese imports. Complicating the situation, of course, is the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruptions to supply chains that have ensued. In this talk, Dr. Nelsen will discuss the origins and conduct of the US trade war with China and how the pandemic has shaped and reshaped it in 2021.
D
 r. Brent Nelsen completed his undergraduate study at Wheaton College and then pursued a Masters and Doctorate of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has taught political science at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina since 1989. He was chair of the Furman Department of Political Science from 2003 to 2009. Nelsen also served as President of the South Carolina Political Science Association from 2009 to 2010 and President of Christians in Political Science from 2004 to 2006. His scholarship focuses on the European Union, especially the role of religion in the formation of attitudes toward European integration.For over two decades, Dr. Nelsen has been studying the relationship between religion and politics in Europe. He has published several books and journal articles on how religion shapes the attitudes of Europeans toward the EU. Recently, Dr. Nelsen has turned his attention to the rise of populist parties in Europe. For more information and a complete bio click here.

The soldier’s Tale –
Edvard Tchivzhel, conductor
Featuring narrator and dancers from International Ballet
STRAVINSKY “The Soldier’s Tale” 
Written in 1918, The Soldier’s Tale is a miracle of musical concision and precision. Each instrument is a distinct voice: trombone drooping and sliding sardonically, adding a mock-military oom-pah to underpin the cornet’s officious fanfares and timpani blows, with bassoon and an ironic, jeering clarinet filling out the texture.
Season subscriptions for the 2021-2022 seasons are available for purchase through the Peace Center box office by phone. Please call to check availability at 864-467-3000. Peace Center box office hours are Monday – Friday, 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM.

“The French Language Day is a day to create conscience among the official and staff members of the history, culture, development and use of the French language throughout the United Nations. 20 March was chosen because on this same day the 77 members states of the International Organization of La Francophonie celebrate the International Francophonie Day. Because there are six official languages in the United Nations, this day is actually part of a group of other 5 more days meant to promote multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the United Nations.”
“Les Journées des langues aux Nations Unies ont été introduites en 2010 pour célébrer le multilinguisme et la diversité culturelle et promouvoir l’utilisation égale des six langues officielles à travers toute l’Organisation. Ces journées sont aussi l’occasion de sensibiliser la communauté des Nations Unies à l’histoire, à la culture et à l’utilisation de chacune de ces langues.
La date du 20 mars a été choisie en référence au 20 mars 1970, marqué par la création à Niamey, au Niger, de l’Agence de coopération culturelle et technique (ACCT), devenue par la suite Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).”
