\"\"<\/p>\n

Where do we \u2013 our community, our country, and our world \u2013 stand on the project of human rights? How can we ensure that the aspiration of a universal human rights system is realized? What can and must we as individuals, in our everyday lives, do to promote not only our human rights, but those of others \u2013 those with whom we share space but also strangers half a world away?
\nJoin us October 9 for a timely conversation with 2025 CBC Massey lecturer Alex Neve and UFV assistant professor Mark Kersten on these and other themes. At a time when optimism and hope is much needed but often in short supply, Alex will provide insights and lessons from his years on the front lines of human rights advocacy. The conversation will explore critical human rights questions and challenges in the region, across Canada, and the world to explore the responsibility we all have to do our part to universalize our rights and the rights others. And the difference we can make when we do so.<\/p>\n

Thurs, Oct 9
\n2:30-5:45 pm
\nAbby B101<\/p>\n
