Are foreign powers working to influence domestic public opinion? Do their approaches differ from political parties? From each other?

Come join Will Stevens, Director of the Public Diplomacy Division, Foreign Service Institute (U.S. Department of State), for a discussion of the practice of public diplomacy, globally, today.

Will will focus on “Adversarial Narratives” and their use by states, non-state actors, and domestic political parties. He’ll also speak about his work training U.S. diplomats to represent the United States in challenging times, American influence around the world, and how public diplomacy intersects with disinformation, social media, and Hybrid/Gray Zone warfare.

Open to the extended Harvard community, including all Harvard schools, alumni, and neighboring universities

This event is part of the “Misinformation Speaker Series,” and is co-sponsored by the Shorenstein Center at HKS and Northeastern University
