Vice Chancellor of The University of the West Indies, and one of the founding Co-Chairs of the Canada-Caribbean Institute, Sir Hilary Beckles has recently been honoured in a ceremony at The UWI Cave Hill campus.
In one of the most comprehensive scholarly works of its kind within the region, Vice-Chancellor of The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Professor Sir Hilary Beckles has been honoured for his distinguished contributions to academia and as a social justice advocate and administrator.
Dozens of academics including fellow historians from across the globe have contributed 41 articles to the near 1150-page festschrift, a commemorative volume of writings by various authors and presented to the scholar as a tribute.
The tome entitled Interrogating Injustices: Essays in honour of Hilary McD. Beckles was launched on December 15, 2023, at The UWI Cave Hill campus. The event brought the curtains down on yearlong celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of The UWI and the 60th anniversary of Cave Hill.
