PUBLIC DIPLOMACY FROM THE HEARTLAND
In partnership with the Gaylord College of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma, on November 9, CPD will host a gathering of thought leaders to reflect on the vital role of public diplomacy in international affairs. Discussing why it is important for all of America to be engaged in the world, will be former Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan and Pew Research Center's Jacob Poushter. >
A Princeton PhD, was a U.S. diplomat for over 20 years, mostly in Central/Eastern Europe, and was promoted to the Senior Foreign Service in 1997. After leaving the State Department in 2003 to express strong reservations about the planned U.S. invasion of Iraq, he shared ideas with Georgetown University students on the tension between propaganda and public diplomacy. He has given talks on "E Pluribus Unum? What Keeps the United States United" to participants in the "Open World" program. Among Brown’s many articles is his latest piece, “Janus-Faced Public Diplomacy: Creel and Lippmann During the Great War,” now online. He is the compiler (with S. Grant) of The Russian Empire and the USSR: A Guide to Manuscripts and Archival Materials in the United States (also online). In the past century, he served as an editor/translator of a joint U.S.-Soviet publication of archival materials, The United States and Russia: The Beginning of Relations,1765-1815. His approach to "scholarly" aspirations is poetically summarized by Goethe: "Gray, my friend, is every theory, but green is the tree of life."
