The Colleges of Trent University welcome you to a public talk with 2023 Ashley Fellow Chúk Odenigbo. Every registrant will receive a Zoom link in the days before the lecture.
Participants will be guided through a thought-provoking reflection on how we, as a society, imagine utopia - who sets that definition, and who is leading us there - with insight into how our society might re-imagine a utopia that is truly inclusive of all.
