UBC Political Science would like to congratulate our Graduate Students, who put together a wonderful conference in May. We would particularly like to thank Conference Chair Katelynn Kowalchuk and Keynote Speaker UBC Professor Genevieve Bates.
The event featured two panels. The first featured research on sovereignty, settler-colonialism, and challenges to Western hegemony; and the second focused on research covering topics in democracy, citizenship, and representation.
Below is a photo gallery from the event.
