Mentorship as a Legacy: Communal Rites of Passage of Graduate Studies by Dr Iris Bara Costa

In this lecture, Prof. Barra Costa will reflect on her trajectory from advisee to advisor. Her presentation pays homage to her mentor, Kamau Brathwaite (1930-2020), celebrates her mentees, and reflects on the impact of relationships developed within and beyond the constraints of the university environment.

Graduate faculty, master’ s, doctoral and professional students are welcome.
