Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

After two years only on Zoom, the \u201cFriday Lunch\u201d has returned for Fall Semester 2022 with discussions held \u201cin-person\u201d again.<\/p>\n

One of our topics really needs to be the war in Ukraine, and so I am very pleased to welcome Andrew Barnes from Kent State University to share his expertise and perspective. Professor Barnes is a scholar of \u201cPost-Soviet\u201d politics and especially of Russia\u2019s role in the international oil markets and financial system. He has framed his talk as about \u201cRussia\u2019s war\u201d because that\u2019s the first key point: this is a war of Russia\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

In order to make it easy for people to protect themselves and still participate, the meetings are still going to be accessible on Zoom. Participants can register for each meeting in the same way they did for the past two years. The link is posted below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This \u201cdual delivery\u201d is a work in progress. Please be patient with any glitches; the most likely will be people on Zoom not being able to hear comments from in the room (except the speaker\u2019s), but I will summarize those comments if necessary. We also are working on ways to show the Zoom participants both the speaker and the audience in the room; if we have to choose we\u2019ll show the speaker.<\/p>\n

And of course I\u2019m still trying to estimate how many goodies I need to bring to be a good host to those who come to the room!<\/p>\n

But the most important thing is the substance of the war, and there are many things Professor Barnes could address. Why was the war started? How should we think about the strength of the response from Ukraine and western nations? How has wartime changed how Ukraine functions as a society? What are the effects of the sanctions against Russia? What are the internal restraints, if any, on Putin? What is the Russian strategy about attacking civilians? What might cause the Russians to stop and withdraw?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In-Person and Virtual Attendance<\/h3>\n

The discussion begins at 12:30 p.m., but the Dampeer Room should be open no later than Noon. We try to have beverages and refreshments set up soon after that. Participants should be able to sign on to Zoom also by Noon. But please remember not much will be happening online until the talk begins at 12:30.<\/p>\n

Zoom participants will probably have trouble hearing comments made by members of the audience in the room. As moderator I will repeat and summarize such comments or questions. Zoom participants are also encouraged to submit questions through Zoom\u2019s chat function. The chat will be monitored.<\/p>\n

Each week we will send out this newsletter with information about the topic. It will also include a link to register (for free) for the discussion.<\/strong>\u00a0When you register, you will automatically receive from the Zoom system the link to join the meeting. If you do not get the newsletter, you should also be able to get the information each Monday by checking<\/span>\u00a0http:\/\/fridaylunch.case.edu\/<\/span><\/a>. Then if you choose you can use the contact form on that website to request the registration link.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are very pleased to be partnering this semester with the<\/span>\u00a0Siegal Lifelong Learning Program<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to share information about the discussions.<\/p>\n

Best wishes for safety and security for you and yours,<\/p>\n

* Kelvin Smith Library requires all entrants to show identification when entering the building, unless they have a university i.d. that they can magnetically scan. We are sorry if that seems like a hassle, but it has been Library policy for a while in response to security concerns. Please do not complain to the library staff at the entrance, who are just doing their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n
