How does our understanding of the ideas of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’ shift in a war-torn and warming world?

How does our understanding of the ideas of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’ shift in a war-torn and warming world? Today’s event features a powerful conversation with three authors writing urgently about displacement and connection: Hoda Barakat (International Prize for Arabic Fiction-winning author of Voices of the Lost), Alycia Pirmohamed (poet and winner of the Nan Shepherd Prize with non-fiction debut, Shorelines), and Ece Temelkuran (essayist and Women’s Prize for Nonfiction-shortlisted author of Nation of Strangers).

Chaired by Mohamed Tonsy.Supported by Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation and the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom.
