Peace Scholar Ludmila Puchulu-Mocchiutti to Present For several years our club has been supporting Peace Scholar students at local universities and institutions. On Monday, March 11 our guest speaker will be Ludmila Puchulu-Mocchiutti, one of the students we have recently supported. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Global Governance at the Balsillie School of International Affairs, Ludmila’s academic journey led her to conduct a thesis on the 1982 Anglo-Argentinian Falkland Islands war and the enduring impact of war remnants, particularly landmines. Her research aimed to understand how the conflict and minefield clearance contributed to the development of a regional identity and settler indigeneity in the Falkland Islands. Currently, Ludmila’s research interests center on the interplay of security, sovereignty, and nationalism within the framework of international law. By examining these themes, she aims to explore how international legal principles and institutions intersect with and impact the resolution of conflicts and the rights of communities in various regions. Also on the program wil be an update from our inbound Exchange student, Jonas, from France. Please plan to join us for another great meeting! NB! Pre-Registration and meal selection is required!

A Visit to the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) Our club meeting on Monday, March 25 is a visit to the Centre for International Governance and Innovation with a presentation and tour. The integration of digital technologies is reshaping municipalities, creating interconnected systems, devices, and resident networks. Several local governments are adopting smart technology to leverage technological progress for enhanced services and cost-effectiveness. However, this rapid expansion has increased municipalities' vulnerability to cybercriminal activities, posing a significant threat to crucial public services like education, power supply, water quality maintenance, and transportation infrastructure, among others. This event aims to understand the escalating challenges, uncover opportunities, and provide practical solutions to strengthen cybersecurity resilience in the Region of Waterloo. Agenda: 5:00 - 5:15 - Arrival at CIGI (Parking available, enter off Father David Bauer Drive) To assist with organization, all those planning to attend are asked to register no later than 12 noon on Monday, March 25.
