Prospective and enrolled Columbia University students may preview courses available during the 2022 Summer Session by attending the four-part Inside the Classroom lecture series this spring. Columbia instructors will conduct lectures in four subject areas: Social Justice and Public Policy; Arts and Humanities; Economics and Finance; and Pre-Medical Studies and the Sciences. The series kickoff, The UN and Atrocity Prevention - Missteps and Opportunities, begins at 4 p.m. ET on February 22, with Columbia University SIPA faculty member David Marshall, LL.B, LL.M.

Attendees will also learn about related programs and courses, including Certifications in United Nations Studies, Human Rights, and Critical Issues in International Relations.
