The Aga Khan's UofA Convocation Address

In case you missed it, here is Aga Khan’s U of A convocation address, which was delivered last Tuesday and was partially reprinted in today’s Edmonton Journal. The Aga Khan discussed major challenges the world, which has become increasingly interconnected, faces today. What stood out to me was his discussion of pluralism. He argues that increased understanding of other peoples and cultures, can reduce the ignorance that has led too much of the problems we currently face today, with educational institutions playing a central role in combating this ignorance.


I thought it was a phenomenal address, eloquently crafted and containing some deep insight.

WORTH A READ, FO SURE.
