The deluge we face, the challenges they present and the consequences of inaction, call for the revival of female elder traditions in Black and other marginalized communities.

As such, The Pan African Collaboration for Excellence in partnership with the Africa Centre will be hosting the Inaugural Obinokor Talks – A Rallying Call to Female Elders on June 4th, 2022, in Edmonton, Alberta.

The Obinokor Talks for this year will consist of an inaugural lecture by Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, University of Alberta and Director of the Pan African Collaboration for Excellence, Dr. Philomina Okeke-Ihejirika.
