Weeks to discuss Cuba for final Great Decisions lecture

Greg Weeks, chair of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, will discuss Cuba and the United States for the final presentation in the UNC Charlotte Great Decisions Lecture Series. This talk is set for 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 24, at UNC Charlotte Center City.

As a researcher, Weeks focuses on Latin American politics, U.S.-Latin American relations and Latino immigration. He has authored a number of works, including “U.S. and Latin American Relations” and “Understanding Latin American Politics.”

He also is editor of the academic journal the Latin Americanist and writes regularly on his blog “Two Weeks Notice: A Latin American Politics Blog.”

The Office of International Programs sponsors the Great Decisions Lecture Series locally. The Foreign Policy Association, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to develop awareness, understanding and informed opinion on U.S. foreign policy and global issues, coordinates the Great Decisions Lecture Series nationally. The association provides background information and policy options for the most critical issues facing America each year and serves as the focal text for discussion groups across the country.
