World Issues Forum Fall 2023

Welcome to Fairhaven College’s FAll 2023 World Issues Forum (WIF). World Issues is Western Washington University’s human rights and global justice speaker series. The WIF challenges students, faculty, staff, and community members to be active and engaged global citizens. Distinguished guest speakers address urgent global justice topics including planetary survival; decolonization and anti-racism; human rights; migrations; and the world economy.

We’re very excited to reopen the Forums in the Fairhaven Auditorium in person to campus and community members. The WIF can also be accessed via:
