DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, April 29th\, 5pm-7pm\, at the Great Hall

  Bring your curiosity to our panel discussion on how science fiction celeb
 rates the exchange of knowledge\, tells us about building a better future

 ment to regenerate indigenous epistemology. \n\nMeet Our Speakers!\n\nDr.
