Baker Briefing Live: Reforming Global Aid in a Post-USAID Era
2025-10-09 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Chicago) | Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, 6100 Main Street, Houston, TX, 77005, United States
This live edition of “Baker Briefing” will examine the existential questions facing the future of global aid and opportunities for reform.

The international humanitarian community faced growing calls for reform even before the Trump administration dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in early 2025 and cut nearly $8 billion in funding to the global aid sector. Now, it will need to move quickly and strategically to survive funding cuts from major donor countries like the U.S. and continue to respond to humanitarian emergencies around the world.
In this live recording of the “Baker Briefing” podcast, Ambassador David M. Satterfield, director of the Baker Institute, sits down with Sonali Korde, MD Anderson Visiting Fellow and former head of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, to examine the existential questions facing the future of global aid and how the humanitarian system can rise to meet the moment.
This event is free and open to the public.

Putting the Iranian nuclear program in a broader context
2025-10-09 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Riverside Room, 121 Bay State Road, Boston, MA, 02215, United States
Join us for a panel discussion on Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been the focus of international diplomacy for several decades. Faced with accusations of nuclear weapons pursuits and subject to far-reaching sanctions, Iran concluded the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2015 to restrict its nuclear pursuits. The United States’ decision to withdraw from the agreement in 2018 and subsequent allegations of Iranian violations of its international commitments cast doubt on the deal’s future. All this came to a head when Israel and the United States conducted extensive air attacks against Iran’s nuclear facilities and missile capabilities in June 2025. While the strikes significantly disrupted Iran’s nuclear program and its potential weaponization, it did not eliminate it. This panel will shed light on Iran’s past, present, and future nuclear ambitions, how Iran’s nuclear program is perceived within the region, what efforts have been taken and will likely be taken to curb Iran’s nuclear program, and how these actions have shaped the nuclear non-proliferation regime.

How do societies remember their past, and how do those memories shape the present?

How do societies remember their past, and how do those memories shape the present? This workshop brings together two graduate researchers whose work interrogates struggles over memory, media, and history in democratic and journalistic contexts.
Hybrid event — if you would like to join us virtually, you will receive a link after registration. Full papers will also be send after registering.______
Paper Descriptions:
Adam Koehler Brown explores how political actors have struggled over the memory of the January 6th, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. His research forwards a novel theoretical account of memory in democratic societies, born out of four distinct modes of highly partisan January 6th memory with distinct degrees of mediation, style, and form.
Though advertisements for enslaved people have been studied across the field of American history, journalism studies has barely acknowledged the relationship between the nexus of early newspapers, advertising profit models, and the slave trade. Through an empirical content analysis of advertisements in newspapers published from 1704 to 1729 and a critical discourse analysis of the same time period, this analysis by Anjali Dassarma offers a revisitation and re-working of how we understand the origins of advertising in the field of journalism.

Speaker bios:
Adam Koehler Brown is a PhD Candidate in Sociology at the New School for Social Research. He works on politics, culture, and theory, with a specific focus on cultural dimension of American politics in the January 6th, 2021 case. He has previously held fellowships with the Institute for Critical Social Inquiry and the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies. Brown also teaches at CUNY-Hunter College.
Anjali Dassarma is a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication. Her work examines both the cultural studies and political economy of journalism, centering journalists as actors in the production of knowledge, norms, and history and as well as structures of media power, capitalism, and hegemony.Her research is focused on journalism histories for the sake of critical and radical journalism futures, with a strong focus on media reparations and decolonial/anti-colonial movements.

Russian Responses to the Armenian Velvet Revolution
2025-10-08 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | CGIS South, 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Join us for a talk about the Armenian Velvet Revolution and the surprising Russian response.

Armenia has traditionally been a Russian ally in the South Caucasus. It is a Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Eurasian Economic Union member. In April-May 2018 Armenian nationwide protests toppled the authoritarian regime. One remarkable aspect about the Armenian Revolution was Russian reaction to it. Russian responses were quite muted, and Russian President Putin was the first leader to congratulate Revolution leader Pashinyan. Russian responses contradicted its promulgated policies: its National Security Strategy in 2015 identified ‘coloured revolutions’ as a security threat.
My hypothesis is that international structural constraints on Armenia were the root cause of Russian non-interference.
My second hypothesis is that Kremlin policy-makers’ perception of the Armenian Revolution prevented the Russian interference.
My sources include interviews, official statements, publications of research centers and institutes, public opinion surveys.
My findings conclude that Armenia’s international structural constraints largely determined the Russian responses. Furthermore, thanks to absence of foreign policy slogans in the movement, the Armenian Revolution was perceived as different from other color revolutions. However, I also found some evidence, which did not correspond to my initial assumptions: some findings suggest there might be additional factors at play such as the Russian lack of capacity and timing to interfere.
