Spreading democracy topic of guest lecturer's visit

Brigham Young University will host a special guest speaker from the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, Wednesday, March 23, at noon in 238 Herald R. Clark Building.

Milada Anna Vachudova, assistant professor of political science, will present "EU and U.S. Strategies for Spreading Democracy" as part of the Transatlantic lecture Series.
