The upcoming event for the Fall 2023 International Seminar Series is now open for registration. All events will be presented simultaneously in-person in the Old Main Room of the Bone Student Center, and online through Zoom. The discussion will be held Wednesday, October 25, from noon-1 p.m. These events are free and open to the public. RSVP is required for in-person attendance.
We are pleased to formally invite you to the third event of Fall 2023 International Seminar Series in which the “Impressions of Colonialism” discussion will be continued, now from the student perspective. To provide context, when the United Nations was established in 1945, almost a third of the world’s population—750 million people—lived in states that were governed by other countries. Since that date over 80 countries have gained their independence from colonial administration. As such, the student panel will discuss what colonialism means to them as young people of today and by sharing their individual experiences.
This discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Tom Buller, professor in the Department of Philosophy.
Lunch will be provided before the event at 11:45 a.m. In-person RSVP is required so that an accurate food count will be available. Alternatively, you can also join the event via this Zoom link. Advance registration is not necessary for online attendance.
Anyone with questions, concerns, or regarding any accommodation to participate fully, should contact Emmy Buonomo at ecbuono@IllinoisState.edu or call the Office of International Engagement at (309) 438-1651. Allow sufficient time to arrange the accommodation, thank you.
