Dr Foluke Ipinyomi guest speaker at ICONS2016

Dr. Foluke Ipinyomi will be speaking to Nigerian students about development law at ICONS16.

Press release issued: 8 June 2016

On 10-12 June, Dr Foluke Ipinyomi, Teaching Associate at the University of Bristol Law School, will be discussing development law with students attending this year's International Conference of Nigerian Students (ICONS16).

This year sees the event celebrate its tenth anniversary. Its objective is to create a platform for the Nigerian youth to express positive development for the common good, and to celebrate and nurture Nigerian students abroad. The event will take place at De Montfort University, Leicester.

Dr Ipinyomi's academic research focuses on the impacts of post-colonialism on international norm implementation in Africa, particularly thanks to the interplay between diversity and divergent human rights' needs which mostly affects the most vulnerable in society.

Dr Ipinyomi will be giving a talk entitled "My Grandfather Taught Me that Change is Impossible: A Story of Personal and General Transformation".
