With Public Diplomacy on the minds of many nowadays, the Institute for Public Diplomacy, GW graduate and undergraduate students have launched Public Diplomacy Examined (PDx), an interview-based easy-access podcast of interviews with U.S. foreign service officers (current and retired), foreign diplomats, public diplomacy professionals, academics and researchers, media practitioners, cultural exchange specialists, and many others – all who share their experiences and insights into the latest thinking and trends of public diplomacy and global communication.
Our first two PDx episodes feature interviews with former top US public diplomacy leaders – Tara Sonenshine, former Undersecretary of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the U.S. State Department (April 2012- July 2013), and Bruce Wharton, retired U.S. ambassador and also former acting Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (December 2016 to July 2017).
Check PDx regularly for more interviews.
