At the Coalface is a series of conversations hosted by Phil Rose.
Phil’s guests share stories about their life beyond the headlines of international affairs. They look for lessons learned about making an impact in the world as practitioners in diplomacy, international organisations, NGOs, journalism and the private sector.
Many of Phil’s guests are connected by their common experience of taking time away from work to attend Fletcher School’s Global Master of Arts Programme.
