@charlicarpenter @UMassAmherst @SBS_UMass @umasspolsci Thank you for joining us! We’re grateful for your insights and the thoughtful engagement you brought to the discussion.

This @DohaDebates roundtable, in which I participated, was recorded last November - still relevant? Give it a listen and tell me what you think. @Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXSqDFxwLV4 @UMassAmherst @SBS_UMass @umasspolsci

@sosalam @NohaAboueldahab @charlicarpenter Thank you for your moderation Soraya and navigating such an important conversation with care.

My latest episode of the @DohaDebates podcast is sadly more relevant than ever. We ask the question: is war inevitable—or can humanity find another way to resolve conflict? It was a fascinating discussion featuring @NohaAboueldahab, @charlicarpenter, Ian Morris and R. Brian Ferguson. Watch here: youtu.be/tXSqDFxwLV4?si…

With the rise of AI, what happens to architecture? Architects Bidisha Sinha and @marwa_alsabouni debate whether AI will improve design or strip buildings of their artistry and soul.

@sosalam Thank you Soraya! We’re grateful to you and our experts for such an engaging debate.

In my latest episode of the @DohaDebates podcast, we ask a question I honestly never gave much thought before: what does the architecture around us say about who we are--and who we want to become? I had a fascinating discussion with four acclaimed architects representing vastly different approaches to building: @marwa_alsabouni, Bidisha Sinha, Kamil Khan Mumtaz and @luciensteil.

In this special episode of The Negotiators recorded live at @DohaForum in 2025, former U.S. negotiator @Rob_Malley offers rare insights on the collapse of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and why he believed, even then, that renewed U.S.–Iran negotiations were unlikely to succeed.

@sosalam @JonathanACBrown @faisaldevji Thank you for joining us and guiding the conversation with nuance, empathy and curiosity.

I’ve recently joined the @DohaDebates Podcast as a moderator, helping lead conversations on some of the biggest questions shaping our world.

The media often focuses on stories of war, but rarely do we hear what happens at the negotiating table. In this episode of The Negotiators, recorded in December of last year at Doha Forum, @JZarif, Iran’s former foreign minister and chief negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal, offered an Iranian perspective on regional tensions that resulted in the current war.

Should private companies solve public problems? This week on the Doha Debates Podcast, @titusgebel and @evgenymorozov debate whether solutions to public issues like gang violence should be privatized. Watch the full episode ➡️ youtu.be/RhkTk0heAPg
