About

Join us for an engaging literary discussion with Chido Muchemwa, author of the upcoming short story collection Who Will Bury You?, intimate stories about loss, identity and inequality, with characters in the liminal space between Toronto and Harare (Zimbabwe). Amal Elsana Alh’jooj is a key shaper of public opinion on marginalized minorities in Israel, Canada, and other developing countries. Hope is a Woman’s Name is the story of her journey navigating interweaving systems of power and oppression—the patriarchal and the nationalist—in her fight for justice and equality. The discussion will be moderated by Aparita Bhandari.
