Renown Harvard Medical Anthropologist Kimberly Theidon will be at UBC this weekend hosting a series of presentations about her research in Latin America. What follows is the e-mail that was circulated by the Political Science department staff to students. I myself might attend the 'militarized masculinities' lecture at 11 am, and will also be going to a lecture by Prof. Ligia Luchmann at 1:30 pm about participatory budgeting in Brazil. Let me know if you will be going !
Please join the Transitional Justice Network and others as we welcome Kimberly Theidon to the Liu Institute for Global Issues with several great events this week!
