British West Indies Regiment History for Lunch / Black History Month on Tuesday 10 February will feature Dr. Ronald Harpelle who will be speaking on “Return of the Regiment: World War I and the Radicalization of West Indian Workers in Costa Rica.

History for Lunch is a lecture series sponsored by the Department of History and, in recognition of the centennial of the First World War, is focused this year on non-Canadian aspects of the conflict. This is an opportunity to put a bit of History in your diet and for members of the Department of History to showcase their research. More information about the sessions can be found on the Department of History website, and on our Facebook page.
