From Canterbury University to the global stage: A life in diplomacy and a world in transition
Drawing on her distinguished diplomatic career, including her recent posting in Washington D.C., Rosemary Banks will share personal insights into her career, the evolution of international relations and New Zealand's place in an increasingly complex world.
Come along to our next UC alumni movie night for a screening of The Social Reckoning at Silky Otter Cinemas Wigram.
Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, this companion to The Social Network follows Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and journalist Jeff Horwitz as they expose the company’s closely guarded secrets.
After the screening, we’ll be joined by Dr Cassandra Mudgway, Senior Lecturer in Law and an expert in online abuse and human rights, for a short talk and Q&A. Drawing on her research, Dr Mudgway will explore the real-world issues behind the film, from online harassment to the responsibility of social media companies to protect their users.
