Dr Budd Hall, from the University of Victoria, in Canada, will share his expertise on knowledge democracy – an area he has been working on since the early 1970s – at the ACU headquarters in London on Tuesday 12 February, from 5pm-6pm (GMT).

During this talk, Budd will cover how the domination of European knowledge affects our understanding of the world and what this means for our global network of Commonwealth universities.

The talk will include time for a Q&A session and will be followed by a drinks reception, providing an opportunity to meet Budd and network with peers from other universities.
