    Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Israeli legislator Natan Sharansky will deliver public lectures at Vanderbilt March 17-18 as part of the university’s annual Impact Symposium. The theme of this year’s symposium is “Diplomacy in the New Millennium.” Albright will speak March 17, and Sharanksy will speak March 18. Both lectures will be held at Langford Auditorium. A book signing will precede each lecture.

    Albright, who served as secretary of state from 1997 to 2001, will speak about geopolitics and the current implications of global commerce. She is the former president of the Center for National Policy and teaches at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. 

    Sharansky, a former member of Israel’s legislature and a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Freedom, will speak about the spread of democracy and struggles for human rights. From 1996 to 2005, he served in the role of Israeli government minister for several areas: industry and trade, internal affairs, housing and construction, and Jerusalem affairs. During that time, he also served as deputy prime minister.
