Speaker Series

Throughout the year, QIAA hosts renowned guest speakers from a wide variety of fields in its Speakers Series. Politicians, journalists, government officials, business people, and other personalities in international affairs speak on diverse international issues. The aim of this initiative is to provide students at Queen’s with outlets to engage with the practical side of international affairs and global politics by gaining insight directly from the movers and shakers of the world. Past speakers have included Colonels in the United States Army, members of Canadian parliament, United States former senators, the editors-in-chief of national newspapers, and university professors. QIAA’s programming features discussions, lectures, debates, movie screenings, and other different forms of engagement with the world of international affairs.
