UNBC's Global Friday Speaker Series

Global Fridays started in the Fall semester 2006. It serves as a forum for faculty and students interested in all things 'global.' It brings internationally renowned speakers to UNBC to talk on their research and provides an opportunity for UNBC faculty to share their research findings. International speakers have included: Walden Bello (University of the Philippines), Boris Kagarlitsky (Institute of Globalization and Social Movements, Moscow), Pun Ngai (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) and Jose Pablo Baraybar (Past President, Latin American Association of Forensic Anthropology).

Meeting six to eight times a semester, it is open to all and covers a wide range of topics and disciplines.

Global Fridays meets from noon – 1.30 pm. Join us for some new perspectives on global processes.

From September 2013, Global Fridays will be run by a team consisting of:

Dr. Paul Bowles (Economics and International Studies): paul.bowles@unbc.ca
Dr. Catherine Nolin (Geography): catherine.nolin@unbc.ca
