The International Law Society will be hosting a book club to discuss The Education of an Idealist, the famed memoirs of former UN Ambassador and current USAID head Samantha Power. The themes, lessons, and background of the book will be discussed, as well as what it can teach us about international law.

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
