A More Inclusive Definition of International Relations | Susie Beyl | TEDxBergenCountyAcademies

In this speech, Susie explains how and why we need to adjust our definition of what International Relations actually is. Susie is a senior at Yale University from West Haven, Connecticut studying Political Science and Education Studies, focusing on nationalism, violent conflict, and geopolitics. She has spent three years with the teaching organization Hemispheres, a group within the Yale International Relations Association which offers free weekly classes in international relations and subsidized domestic and international educational trips to New Haven County public high school students. As a teacher and, from 2017-2018, Director, Susie found that Hemispheres created a vibrant space for young people to speak uninhibitedly about international affairs and sought to understand how people have conversations about place and belonging at Yale and beyond. This goal led her to work with K-12 students in subsidized housing in Louisville, KY, co-lead a research trip to Indonesia to study multicultural identity formation, and to Connecticut’s largest refugee resettlement agency, Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, to work with recently arrived students. On campus, she works multiple part-time jobs to sustain a pad thai habit, listens to Broadway musical soundtracks, and is always in search of medium-to-large dogs to pet. By dedicating her studies to forces which divide communities and exclude, post-graduation she hopes to work in the opposite direction— toward strengthening communities and emboldening inclusion. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
