The Harriet Tubman Institute offers an intellectual space that fosters debate among all York scholars whose research interest focuses on the history and contemporary experience of Africans and people of African descent in Canada and globally. It gives individual researchers as well as research teams a platform for exchange. Therefore, the Institute is an intellectual space that offers an opportunity for individual scholars to critically strengthen their own research by presenting it to others in the spirit of engaging in debate.
Virtual Tubman Talks are held on Zoom. Please message tubman@yorku.ca to request the meeting information.
