EMUNI TO HOST TWO PUBLIC LECTURES

Mark your calendars! The Education Department of EMUNI University kindly invites you to attend two public lectures virtually this April.

The first will be an inaugural lecture by Dr. Mateja SEDMAK on Wednesday, 21 April at 12.00 CET titled Thinking Beyond: Critical Reflection on Culture and Ethnicity.

The lecture will critically reflect on essentialist everyday assumptions regarding culture, ethnicity, ethnic groups and boundaries, discussing the inaccuracy of the concept of monoculturalism, cultural pluralism and interculturality as social facts, and interculturalism as the management of cultural diversity.

Dr. Sedmak has a Ph.D in Sociology and is a Scientific Councillor at the Science and Research Centre Koper (ZRS Koper), Slovenia, and Head of the Institute for Social Sciences. She was the leader of the preparation expert group for the accreditation of the Doctoral study programme in Globalization, Cultural Pluralism and Modern Societies developed in collaboration with EMUNI University and ZRS Koper.

The second public test lecture by Dr. Damir ZUBAC will be held on Thursday, 22 April 2021 at 12:00 CET titled Spleen Contraction and its Role in Oxygen Transport During Exercise and Apnea.

Dr. Zubac has been a Research Assistant at the University of Split in Croatia since 2018 and has held a Postdoctoral position at the Science and Research Centre Koper (ZRS Koper) since 2018, at the Institute for Kinesiology Research. He is a candidate for the appointment to the title of Higher Education Teacher – Assistant Professor in the field of Basic Medical Sciences.
