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.

About Chúk Odenigbo

Franco-Albertain from Calgary, Mr. Odenigbo is passionate about the interactions between culture, health and the environment. This passion manifests itself in his role as Founding Director and Director of Ancestral Services for Future Ancestors Services Inc., an Indigenous and Black-owned, youth-led professional services social enterprise that advances climate justice and equity with a lens of anti-racism and ancestral accountability (www.futureancestors.ca). Mr. Odenigbo is a PhD Candidate in Medical Geography where his research looks at the relationships between human health, the environment, geographic factors, society, and healthcare to shed light on public health policies and strategies.

About the Ashley Fellowship

The Ashley Fellowship is funded by a bequest from the late Professor C.A. Ashley, longtime friend of Trent University and an enthusiastic proponent of the role which the informal contacts of College life can play in the academic pursuits of the University.
