EPIIC

"A World in Disarray", a VICE special report, is a feature-length documentary that explores the disorder in today's international landscape, how it arose, and how it plays out in four areas of conflict and tension: Syria, Ukraine, the South China Sea, and North Korea.

A key independent academic voice in China in arms control and nonproliferation, he is Professor of International Relations at Fudan University and Founder and Director of China’s first non-government-based Program on Arms Control and Regional Security. His research areas cover the China-U.S. security relationship, nuclear arms control and disarmament, nuclear weapons policy of the US and China, regional nonproliferation issues concerning South Asia, Northeast Asia and Middle East, test ban, missile defense, export control, as well as China’s foreign and defense policies.

The international symposium is an annual public forum designed and enacted by EPIIC students. It features international practitioners, academics, public intellectuals, activists and journalists who come to Tufts each year for four days of discussion and debate in panels and small-group discussions determined by students in the EPIIC course. Students who conduct research projects also have the opportunity to present alongside the invited experts.

EPIIC (Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship), a yearlong course of the Institute for Global Leadership at Tufts, is a carefully integrated, multidisciplinary program that focuses on a different topic of international importance each year, bringing in a broad range of speakers to the classroom throughout the year and providing students the opportunities to design and enact an international symposium, film series, and other programming on campus.
