Virtual: Great Falls Forum with Emmanuel Kayembe
The 2020-2021 season of the Great Falls Forum continues on Thursday, October 15th, featuring Dr. Emmanuel Kayembe, Fellow for Franco-American Studies at the University of Southern Maine, with a talk entitled “Francophonie, Immigration, Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Identities in the USA.” The program will take place from 12 noon to 1 PM virtually via Zoom and streamed to the Lewiston Public Library Facebook page. Using French and Francophone migrations’ history in the USA as a pretext, Dr. Kayembe will discuss the need to rethink what it means to belong to a community, a territory, or a country, because no one can be called an absolute autochthone. In his Great Falls Forum talk, he will discuss the modern state of “cultural between,” not belonging to a specific race or people. The Great Falls Forum is a monthly, brown-bag speaker series featuring statewide and regional leaders in public policy, business, academia and the arts. Admission is free to all Forum events.
