Carleton University is pleased to announce its second Somali Studies in Canada Colloquium, taking place on Saturday, October 19, 2019.

This year’s theme, "Identity and Belonging", will focus on the thematic priorities that emerged from the round-table discussions at the first Somali Studies in Canada Colloquium in 2017.

Dr. Nimo Bokore, a professor of Social Work at Carleton University, organized the first Somali Studies in Canada Colloquium in 2017.

In an interview with York University in 2018, Dr. Bokore discussed how she was able to organize this unique event, "The Carleton School of Social Work is a structural school. It hosts the only Institute of African Studies in Canada and the Migration and Diaspora Studies Initiative, which focuses on the social, economic, cultural and political implications of the movement and transnational settlement of people. I am cross appointed in both faculties, and as a result I was able to organize the first ever Somali Studies colloquium in Canada. There were over 100 registered participants, and 30 presenters, presenting their work in England, Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya and at various universities in Canada."

In the video below, Dr. Bokore discusses how her experiences as a Somali refugee informed her research interest into the impact of historical trauma across generations. (It may take a few moments fro the video to load from YouTube.)

This second conference is designed to play a key role in facilitating dialogue and partnerships among the Somali Studies academic community at local, regional, and national levels. Papers will address issues of identity for Somalis in Canada.

The following are some of the presentations that will be taking place at the colloquium:
