UW Now Live: Global Hotspots—Risks and Realities

Tuesday, July 14, 2026
7–8 p.m. CDT

Thank you for your interest in the UW Now Live: Global Hotspots—Risks and Realities livestream.

As global tensions rise and shift, we will explore some of today’s most pressing hotspots shaping the world’s future. From a rapidly evolving Ebola outbreak in Central Africa to a fragile ceasefire framework between the U.S. and Iran, and the ongoing war in Ukraine, we will unpack what’s happening, why it matters, and what could come next.

Some key questions we'll discuss include:

How do public health crises intersect with geopolitical instability, and how worried should the world be about Ebola?
What does the Iran deal mean for global security and energy markets?
How does the war between Ukraine and Russia remain a critical flashpoint even years into the conflict?
