WESTVILLE – Pulitzer Prize winning commentator Bret Stephens will discuss “A Foreign Policy for the President-Elect” at 4 p.m. (CT), Sunday, Nov. 13 as part of Purdue University Northwest’s next Sinai Forum at the Westville Campus.
The presentation will take place in the James B. Dworkin Student Services and Activities Complex, located at 1401 S. US Highway 421. The doors open at 3 p.m.
Sinai Forums present speakers who explore compelling, contemporary issues in a town hall style atmosphere; audience members have the opportunity to pose face-to-face questions.
Stephens, winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, will speak just five days after a new U.S. president is elected. He will examine the impact of the president-elect on foreign policy and will discuss rules to guide the next president in dealing with Middle East challenges.
A foreign affairs columnist and deputy editorial page editor of “The Wall Street Journal” and former editor-in-chief of the “Jerusalem Post,” Stephens will explore how the United States can strike a balance between inaction and over-commitment and the nation’s vital interests in the region.
Stephens authored the book, “America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder.” The book makes the case that America has been retreating from the role of “world's policeman” in recent decades, which Stephens believes will lead to greater world problems.
