In recognition of the United Nation’s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD), the Centre for Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion convened a symposium, in partnership with McLaughlin College and the Race, Inclusion and Supportive Environments (RISE) Sub-committee.

With over 80 people in attendance, the symposium panelists, retired Canadian Senator, Anne C. Cools, Dr. Andrea A. Davis and Dr. Pablo Idahosa, led a provocative discussion focused on the theme: Mitigating and Countering Rising Nationalist Populism and Extreme Supremacist Ideologies. Their speeches were followed by a brief Q&A session.
