On behalf of the Liu Institute for Global Issues, it is my pleasure to invite you to the opening reception for Upheaval Ahead – a one-day colloquium exploring current issues in international development. The reception will take place on March 11th at 7:30pm in atrium of the CK Choi Building at the University of British Columbia. The event will feature an introduction by Stephen Owen, Vice President External and Legal Affairs of UBC, as well as a welcoming address by a representative from the World Bank. The reception will be a great way to connect with other students, faculty, and staff who are interested in development issues. Refreshments and light snacks will be served.

The event is designed to bring together economic experts, academics, practitioners, and members of the UBC community for discussion and investigation into endemic poverty issues as well as extractive sector policies in developing countries.
