“A History of Indigestion, the Gaza Story!” by Nazmi Kamal (BBA, MBA, M.Sc., PIDP, School of Tourism and Recreation)
The Gaza strip is 365 square kilometers, a little bigger than Surrey BC. It has been under blockade for 18 years with fragments of food being allowed in. The manufactured reality of hunger exceeds the scope of reason in its intent, scope and manifestations in the daily lives of Palestinians. This talk looks at Gaza’s food insecurity in dimensions less common to the public, while bringing the imposed calories diet into full light.

About Capilano Universe Lecture Series
Capilano Universe is a series that began 15 years ago. Volunteer faculty connect with the community over topics of interest, so that the vast universe of knowledge housed by the University can expand beyond campus boundaries. Every spring, a series of talks is put together in collaboration with nearby public libraries — this year, the series brings on board libraries from the Sea to Sky region, in both Squamish and Whistler.
