The Future of Haiti [[link removed]]
Monday, March 31 // 9:30–10:45 am (ET)
Haiti has been reeling since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021 deepened a constitutional crisis and led to an explosion in gang violence. Armed groups now control most of Port-au-Prince, the capital, and more than a million Haitians have fled their homes in search of neighborhoods still in government hands.
International actors, including the United States, Caribbean governments, and the United Nations, have sought to stop the spiraling violence and give Haitians an opportunity to choose their leaders for the first time since 2016. Last April, Haiti established a Transitional Presidential Council to rule the country until elections later this year. The next month, a Multinational Security Support Mission, approved by the UN Security Council and largely staffed by Kenya, began its deployment.
Has the international response meaningfully improved security in Haiti? Has the Transitional Presidential Council helped bridge political divisions? What other international support is needed to prepare Haiti for elections? How have changes to US policy, including a freeze on most foreign assistance, impacted the crisis in Haiti?

A Fractured Liberation: Korea under US Occupation [[link removed]]Monday, March 31 // 4–5:30 pm (ET)
A Fractured Liberation brings to vivid life the brief but intense moment in postwar Korea when anything seemed possible, but nothing was guaranteed. The country had been abruptly split into US and Soviet military occupation zones, but, as Kornel Chang shows, ordinary people threw themselves into achieving self-governance throughout a unified Korea. The mostly left-leaning efforts were bolstered by an eclectic group of American supporters, including New Deal liberals, Christian socialists, and trade unionists.
