51. Ece Temelkuran in Conversation with Commissioner Kasari Govender

BC’s Human Rights Commissioner, Kasari Govender, hosts acclaimed Turkish author and journalist Ece Temelkuran for a vital in-person conversation and episode of the Beyond the Headlines series. They will discuss Temelkuran’s latest book, Nation of Strangers: Rebuilding Home in the 21st Century, a Commissioner’s Book Club selection, which considers a world wherein people are increasingly “unhomed.” Exploring the experiences of refugees and exiles, and those who feel politically alienated, morally estranged, economically excluded, or no longer able to recognize the countries and systems around them, they’ll discuss how we might rebuild “home” through our relationships and the strength we find with one another. This event is free to attend in-person or via livestream. 

Presented in partnership with BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner.
