Moderated by NACDI co-founder Dr. Sarah E.K. Smith (Carleton University), this panel discussion brings together a range of practitioners and scholars from North America and abroad:

- Dr. Hanan Toukan, Brown University
- Dr. Sascha Priewe, Royal Ontario Museum and NACDI co-founder
- Dr. Nicholas Cull, University of Southern California

The panellists will address historic and contemporary case studies, as well as the perspective of the practitioners engaged in cultural diplomacy initiatives. Panelists will speak to the successes, failures, and aspirations of cultural diplomacy, foregrounding new avenues of inquiry in this burgeoning field of study.
