Our event starts at 11 am on the 2nd floor of the Koffler House (569 Spadina Avenue). Social 10:45am – 11:00am.
In his previous presentation at Toronto Oasis, on June 9th, entitled “The Twilight of a Law-Based International Order”, our featured speaker, Arnd Jurgensen, examined the deterioration of international law as a constraint on states since the end of the Cold War. In response to the discussion that followed, Arnd will focus this talk on strategies for the restoration of respect for international law.
Arnd grew up in Germany, received his BA at NYU and MA and PhD from the University of Toronto in Political Science. His research has focused on issues related to development, environment and democratic governance. He has taught in the faculties of Applied Sciences and Engineering, interdisciplinary studies and currently teaches courses on international relations and U.S. Foreign Policy at the University of Toronto. He is also active as an environmental activist and musician.
Our guest musician will be Nico Paulo, a Portuguese/Canadian singer song-writer. Her debut EP ‘Wave Call’ will be out January 2020, a compilation of songs that fit in a landscape of sounds that convey lo-fi Art Folk with a fusion of European and North American folk – it is dreamy, nostalgic and full of harmonies. Check out her music: https://nicopaulo.bandcamp.com/releases
Miguel Mendez will do the Community Moment. The Community Moment is a chance for one of our own to share their journey, thoughts about life, or something personal about themselves. It could be light and silly or it could be emotionally heavy. Either way, you’ll learn more about a valued person in our community. Interested in presenting your own Community Moment?
