In 2017, I organized the first ever multidisciplinary day-long colloquium highlighting the reflections on the resilience and the diversity in the experiences of the first and second-generation Somali-Canadians. The colloquium was designed to create a dialogue between Somali students, academics and the community.\u00a0\u00a0 The colloquium presented discourse around a range of topics such as: The politics and poetics of Somali diasporic communities, their location at the intersection of multiple identities\/oppressions (Blackness and antiblackness, colonialism and coloniality, Islam and Islamophobia, refugee\/new immigrant identities and xenophobia, and more), understanding health, mental and stigma, educational barriers\u00a0 and the relationship Somali-Canadians\u00a0 have with other communities such as Indigenous nations and other black diasporic communities.\u00a0 This seminar will set the stage for a more robust debate as we prepare to organize a second colloquium in the fall of 2019. What topics are relevant to current Somali Studies in Canada? Who should be included in this type of study? And in general, what does the future of Somali Diasporic studies look like?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brownbag-Poster-Nimo-Bokore.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Poster<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"daevent-type":[],"event-audience":[189,190,191,192,193,195,196],"event-featured":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
