TRU Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Series on Human Rights & Social Justice

November 26, 2026

Explore the power of human connection in an increasingly divided world during this thought-provoking talk on compassion, dignity, and our shared humanity.

Drawing on the African philosophy of Ubuntu, meaning “a person is a person through other persons,” the discussion explores how people can bridge social, cultural, political, religious, and technological divides. Through powerful stories and reflections on global injustice, solidarity, and human dignity, the talk encourages audiences to look beyond differences and recognize their shared responsibility to one another.

Discover how the “transcending power of We” can inspire greater understanding, compassion, and hope for a more connected world.
