Odyssey for Democracy: from Charlotte to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Odyssey for Democracy: from Charlotte to Bosnia and Herzegovina
Join Atkins Library for a panel discussion featuring Mirsad Hadžikadić, professor in the Department of Software and Information Systems at UNC Charlotte, who is running for the Bosniak presidential council seat in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2022. Hadžikadić will be joined by journalist Clark Curtis, whose book, "The Odyssey for Democracy: Embracing the Vision of Hope and Change in Bosnia and Herzegovina," covered Hadžikadić’s previous run for presidency in 2018 and was published by Atkins Library. John Cox, Associate Professor of History and Global Studies at UNC Charlotte, will moderate the discussion. Hadžikadić will discuss why he felt called to run for president in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2018 and again this year. He will discuss the ongoing political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and how the invasion of Ukraine might affect other Balkan states. The panel will be held both in-person in Atkins Library and virtually on Zoom. Registration is required.
