Harvard Faculty, Fellows, Staff, and Students
Thursday, November 5, 2026
Harvard Kennedy School
Program begins at 10:30 am
Join the Belfer Center for a day honoring the legacy of Joseph S. Nye, Jr. and exploring the future of soft power.
Distinguished scholars and leaders will examine how culture, values, and credibility shape global influence — and how governments, companies, and cultural institutions build and sustain attraction in a fragmented world.
This event is only open to Harvard ID-holders and invited guests.
