PODCAST: Geographies of the Heart
Hamoudi was the host of UBC’s Global Migration Podcast Season 2
Hamoudi is a two-time TEDx Speaker
What do you do when you face the unthinkable? When all else is gone, what are you left with?
In this moving talk, Hamoudi answers these questions based on his lived first-hand experiences, from Syria to Canada, he went from being a medical student, to terrorist, to refugee.
The global number of forcibly displaced people is projected to rise from 65 million to 300 million by 2040. A refugee is not who you think they are. A small rise in sea level could make you a refugee. So who is a refugee?
This talk will change your perception of refugees.
HAMOUDI IS A KEYNOTE SPEAKER

At the Institute of Canadian Citizenship: 6 Degrees 360 event, Hamoudi spoke on the difference between inclusion and diversity. Are Canadian institutions drivers of an inclusive society, or are they establishments promoting pre-formulated values and agendas?
