6 March 2018
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM - room B2.23, Faculty of Arts MU, Arna Nováka 1, 602 00 Brno
Come meet Barbara C. Richardson, Canadian Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Come take the advantage of the opportunity to discuss with her the relationship between Canada and the Czech Republic and the rest of the world. For example, did you know that in Canada there are over 100.000 Canadians of full or partial Czech descent? How does Ms. Richardson see our future cooperation? What are the values both countries share? How does she like living in the Czech Republic?
The host of this debate is Don Sparling, a fellow Canadian and also a faculty member in the Department of English and American Studies.
- Barbara C. Richardson joined the foreign service in 1988 and has served in the Philippines and as the Political Counsellor and Deputy Head of Mission in Kenya (accredited to Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, and Eritrea). She was also Canada’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and to the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UN-HABITAT). She was Canada’s High Commissioner to Bangladesh 2005-2008 and then Ambassador to Zimbabwe and Angola and High Commissioner to Botswana. Since her return to Canada in 2011, she has been the Director General for Consular Operations, Director General for Mission Operations and Client Relations and Inspector General for Global Affairs.
