Sunday Speaker Series with Federic Paul Smloer

Fredric Paul Smoler, the Adda Bozeman Professor of International Relations at Sarah Lawrence College will discuss “The Rise and Fall of Great Powers: America and the 21st Century,” at the first Scarsdale Forum Sunday Speaker Series program of 2011-12. The event will be held on Sunday October 16 at three o’clock at the Scarsdale Woman’s Club and it is free and open to the public.

Professor Smoler is a prolific writer and for nearly a decade served as a contributing editor to American Heritage Magazine. His interests are wide ranging and include foreign and military policy, immigration, multiculturalism and the lessons of economic history. A graduate of Scarsdale High School, Smoler returns to his former community for what promises to be a lively discussion. All are welcome.

The audience will have an opportunity to meet with Professor Smoler after his talk.

The Sunday Speaker Series programs are underwritten in part by a generous grant from the Irving J. Sloan Education Fund, made possible by the Liz Claiborne-Arthur Ortenberg Foundation.
