This fall, Glendon History & the student Glendon Historical Society had the pleasure of hosting PhD student Luah Tomas to discuss the historic Brazilian elections in October that opposed former auto-worker and now elected President Lula da Silva versus the "Trump of the tropics" Jair Bolsonaro.
In November, Myriam Paris (CNRS-France) spoke to students about Réunion's struggle for citizenship, Madina Thiam (NYU) about decolonization in Mali in the 1950s. Professor Rose Ndengue screened the documentary Ouvrir la Voix for the first time in Toronto; then hosted film-maker Amandine Gay to speak about her documentary. Thanks to our visitors and to the students and faculty members who came to enjoy our events!
