World Affairs is honored to welcome US Senator Chris Murphy (Connecticut) in conversation with KQED's Senior Editor Politics and Government, Scott Shafer. As a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Sen. Murphy is influential in scrutinizing, developing and influencing US foreign policy. From the Iran nuclear deal to Russia's war with Ukraine to responding to China's policies, Sen. Murphy has been at the heart of US responses to the biggest geopolitical issues of the past decade. 

Join the World Affairs community* to hear from one of the US' top politicians wrestling with foreign policy. You'll hear the perspective of a leading lawmaker about the experience of legislating in a time of polarization, insights on US relations with Mexico after a recent visit, countering authoritarian aggression and responding to our biggest national challenges. You'll even get the opportunity to ask the Senator your own questions during a Q&A portion.
