Please join the Fletcher Eurasia Club for a lunch seminar with Professor Amy Myers Jaffe. She will discuss rising energy prices, Russia’s dwindling natural gas supply to Europe, the EU’s looming embargo on Russian oil, and the emerging energy crisis in Europe. We encourage you to read her recent articles on energy conflicts between Russia and Europe, Gazprom, and how banning Russian oil might work. The Eurasia Club weekly lunch seminar series engages with students, faculty, staff, and researchers to foster a better understanding of the region among members of the Fletcher community. Members of the wider Tufts community are also welcome to attend. Lunch will be served.
