This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary year, the 杏吧原创 Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema.

This multidisciplinary day-long colloquium, supported by community partners and the Migration and Diaspora Studies (MDS) Initiative at 杏吧原创 University, will showcase critical academic and artistic reflections on the global Somali presence. The colloquium will particularly reflect on the resilience and the diversity in the experiences of Somali migrants and subsequent generations in Canada and beyond. Particular attention will be given to the politics and poetics of Somali diasporic communities, their location at the intersection of multiple identities\/oppressions (Blackness and antiblackness, colonialism and coloniality, Islam and Islamophobia, refugee\/new immigrant identities and xenophobia, and more), and the relationship of Somalis to other communities of colour, such as Indigenous nations and other black diasporic communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please contact: Dr. Nimo Bokore, Faculty of Social Work &amp; Migration and Diaspora Studies Initiative (<a href=\"mailto:nimo.bokore@carleton.ca\">nimo.bokore@carleton.ca<\/a>), or William Felepchuk, PhD Student, School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies &amp; Migration and Diaspora Studies Initiative (<a href=\"mailto:william.felepchuk@carleton.ca\">william.felepchuk@carleton.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"october-14-2017\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>October 14, 2017<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mds\/cu_event\/3rd-annual-institute-of-african-studies-undergraduate-research-conference\/\">3rd Annual Institute of African Studies Undergraduate Research Conference<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ottawa, Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theme: Migrations and Human Rights in Africa and the Diaspora: Vulnerability, Social Justice, and New Nationalisms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keynote Speaker: Dr. Okey Ndibe, author of Foreign Gods Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s conference seeks to encourage interdisciplinary engagement with a new generation of continental and diasporic Africans confronting questions such as: How are global and intra-continental migration patterns impacting the continent and its diasporas? What can be learned from migrant\u2019s individual agency and what tools do they use to actualize justice and social change? How have the rise of New Nationalisms and a global politics of fear shaped the migrant experience? What does the securitization and militarization of the border mean for fabricated national boundaries on the continent? In a time of increasing consequences of climate change, terrorist regimes, and refugees flow, how do we realize a vision of mobility as a human right? This conference encourages students not to simply regurgitate information obtained from a variety of sources, but also to bring forth new and innovative ideas, be it problem solving or avenues for further research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"november-2-4-2017\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>November 2-4, 2017<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canadian premiere of &nbsp;musical Sir John A.
