Speakers Series and General Meeting at 7:30 on April 1, 2019.
On Monday evening, the 1st of April, Dr. Melanie Adrian, Associate Professor in Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University, will speak at the General Meeting. Dr. Adrian’s research focuses on the question of rights of minorities in religiously, ethnically and culturally diverse societies. She is examining how states integrate or accommodate culturally distinct peoples while maintaining a healthy balance between international and national rights and respect for national values. Dr. Adrian’s forthcoming book Risking Religious Freedom: France, the Veil and the Right to Act on Faith argues that France, and Europe more generally, are heading down a dangerous path in their reluctance to live up to the spirit of international human rights conventions. Dr. Adrian will discuss multiculturalism and how we have defined it. What does it really mean? How do we think about it? Everyone is welcome to attend, you need not be a member of CFUW.
