IPED Spring 2021 Lecture Series: International Rescue Committee

What is the International Rescue Committee (IRC)? What do they do as a global humanitarian organization? And what is its impact on today’s most pressing issues? Please join the international political economy and development (IPED) community as we listen to two representatives from the IRC. They will talk about working in the IRC and its research and innovation team, as well as potential summer internship opportunities.
