Titanium in the Arctic: The Geopolitics of Arctic Sovereignty Claims

Featuring: Dr. Jeremy Tasch

We were honored to host Dr. Jeremy Tasch at this year’s Dr. Belgrad Speaker Series held on Tuesday, October 16th

Offered under the auspices of the Towson University Journal of International affairs, the goal of this speaker series is to shed light on a timely issue in the general field of international relations, broadly construed. In keeping with the spirit of the man in whose honor it was created, the speakers will seek to guide the audience to think more clearly about the topic of their talk rather than present predetermined conclusions meant for the sterile kinds of ideological “debate” that is unfortunately so prevalent today. We are particularly interested in inviting a broad spectrum of students to attend the talks in hopes of generating conversations and independent analysis. The opening remarks of the speakers will be published in that semester’s issue of the journal and will be featured prominently on the journal’s website. The talks will also be filmed, and this recording will also be available on the journal’s web site.
