Dr. Sibanda presents at our "Feed Your Mind" virtual event

Sun. Jan. 3, 2021

Despite the unique challenges and uncertainty followed by the public health situation, Global College is excited to resume "FEED YOUR MIND" talks virtually. Every year, we feature speakers from our Faculty and the University of Winnipeg community to welcome our new students to our Faculty and reunite existing Global College students with their peers and Human Rights Faculty. Our speakers present their research, give our students an opportunity to "feed their mind" out of the classroom settings, and guide our students to explore potential career pathways. These series of talks are not only open to the public, but are also free of charge.

On Monday, January 25, 12:30 - 1:30 PM, we welcome you to join in our second of a series of "Feed Your Mind" virtual events! 

Global College is delighted to have Dr. Eliakim Sibanda - Associate Chair of Joint (with the University of Manitoba) Master's in Peace and Conflict Studies Program and Professor in the Department of History, the University of Winnipeg. Dr. Sibanda will discuss about his research on asylum seekers at Lampedusa Reception Centre under a broad topic “Asylum Seekers in Lampedusa: Myths and Realities.” A short Q+A session will follow the discussion. 

Our "Feed Your Mind" talks offer great advantages, even in the absence of in-person communication:

  • You still get all information and new ideas on the topic;
  • You can ask questions in the 'Chat Room' or send questions prior her talk; 
  • You reduce the time commuting to/across campus to attend the event;
  • You can attend the entire presentation from your comfort zone at home;
  • The event is still FREE of cost;
  • In support of your commitment and in support of our campus, the first 25 attendees will receive a UW Diversity Foods vouchers (worth $10) after the event. 

Date: Jan 25, 2021

Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

Location: ZOOM - Live: lecture-like meeting format. This format allows you to see other attendees of the talk, ask questions directly, and exchange ideas after the presentation which helps us to form a sense of the Global College community and a sense of belonging while staying in social isolation!
