(24 September 2016) The next First Monday Forum features a discussion with Michael Gilligan, president of the Henry Luce Foundation on connecting the U.S. and Asia. The event takes place on Monday, 3 October 2016 at 12:00 noon, but at a different location than usual: Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
The Henry Luce Foundation seeks to bring important ideas to the center of American life, strengthen international understanding, and foster innovation and leadership in academic, policy, religious and art communities. The organization was founded in 1936 by Henry R. Luce, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Time Inc., to honor his parents who were missionary educators in China.
Gilligan joined the foundation in 1998 as its program director for theology, and became its president in 2002. Before joining the Henry Luce Foundation, he served at the Association of Theological Schools, academic dean of the Pontifical College Josephinum, and as teacher and administrator in the Catholic Diocese of Columbus. He received a B.A. from Duke University and a M.A. and Ph.D. in English from the University of Virginia.
First Monday Forums are a joint project of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership and Policy, and Public Diplomacy Council. The event takes place on Monday, 3 October at 12 noon. Please note the different location than usual: Elliott School of International Affairs, Lindner Family Commons, 602 1957 E Street NW, Washington, D.C.
