AUK International Relations Students Talk on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)

Correspondents from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) visited Kuwait in November to interview members of the general public about the current situation in the Middle East. While in Kuwait, Dr. George Irani, Associate Professor of International Relations at the American University of Kuwait (AUK), invited Sasa Petricic, Middle East Correspondent for CBC, for a chance to meet with students from one of his classes and ask their opinions about the ISIS conflict, as well as the coalition forces. This experience provided the students with an opportunity to express their opinions eloquently and apply critical thinking skills, which the International Relations Program aims to instill in the students through the traditional liberal arts and interdisciplinary curricula.

The interviews have been aired and posted on the CBC website. To watch AUK students express their opinions, click here.
