Description of the event
A special Valentine’s Day offering to you from the uOttawa Library and the Office of the Vice-Provost, Equity, Diversity & Inclusive Excellence! Join us for a one-hour poetic conversation with the CBC host of Commotion, and author of Son of Elsewhere, (a #1 national bestseller), and Professor Awad Ibrahim, Vice-Provost, Equity, Diversity and Inclusive Excellence and holder of the Air Canada Professorship on Anti-Racism.
The conversation will be moderated by Karine Coen-Sanchez, doctoral candidate in Sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences. There’ll be time for audience questions after what will surely be a scintillating conversation about Blackness, belonging, and “becoming Canadian”.
