Global Fridays started in the fall semester of 2006, serving as a forum for faculty and students interested in all things ‘global’. We bring internationally renowned speakers to UNBC to talk about their research and we provide UNBC faculty with an opportunity to share their research findings.
Meeting six to eight times a semester, Global Fridays are open to all and cover a wide range of topics and disciplines. We meets from noon to 1:30 p.m. Join us for some new perspectives on global processes.
Since September 2024, Global Fridays has been run by a team consisting of:
- Co-Chair, Dr. Gabrielle Daoust, Global and International Studies
- Co-Chair, Dr. Gary Wilson, Political Science
- Dr. Max Hamon, History
- Dr. Luna KC, Global and International Studies
- Dr. Heather Smith, Global and International Studies
If you have suggestions for speakers, please let them know, or email us at globalfriday@unbc.ca.
