What a week at International House!

We explored questions that reach far beyond campus: a fireside chat with Hina Rabbani Khar and John Kirby on energy and climate security, a conversation about the Declaration of Independence and its significance for modern democracy, and Beyond Borders, where students shared insights from their research and internships abroad in global health and social development.

Thank you to our speakers, student presenters, partners, and everyone who joined us this week.

From medieval secret societies to social medial spirals, conspiracy culture took center stage last week at I-House in collaboration with the IOP last week.

The Truth Is Out There… and It’s Trending: Conspiracy Culture Across American History brought together Jamelle Bouie, Brace Belden, Christopher Fee, and Elise Wang for a lively conversation on how conspiracy theories evolved from whispered rumors to timeline mainstays and what that shift means for American public life today.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a night of big questions and sharp insights! 🛸📱
