The Policy@UBC speaker series is hosted by the UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and is designed to bring together faculty, students, government and community groups along with policy and global affairs experts from around the world to engage the UBC community around pressing policy issues, both domestic and global in scope. The aim is to engage in policy discussions that are multi- and interdisciplinary, academically rigorous, pragmatic, creative, and grounded in community context and that ultimately help to bridge the gap between academics and policymakers and practitioners.
These talks are being held in our Liu Institute Caseroom and are open to the UBC community and to the public. No RSVP required. Light refreshments will be provided.
