As an author, Nader first gained recognition in 1965 from his book Unsafe at Any Speed and since then created prominent consumer groups Public Citizen and the Public Interest Research Group. Formed in 1997, the JHU Symposium on Foreign Affairs has become one of the leading events on the university's calendar. Undergraduate students comprise the staff of the symposium and they develop every aspect of the event from recruiting speakers to raising funds to selecting the topics for discussion. This year's theme stems from the continual discussion of the impacts of globalization. The symposium hopes to address important matters from emerging economic markets, to rapid advances in technology, to the rising importance of multilateral organizations.
