His lecture will focus on the beliefs, experiences, characteristics, motivations and assumptions of the Messengers. His working question is &#8220;what do the experiences of the Messengers tell us about the interaction\/confrontation of cultures over time?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A reception will follow the lecture. The event will be at 4 p.m. in Pond Inlet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related stories:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/?p=2069\">Brock selected to host new Fulbright visiting scholar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock&#8217;s visiting Fulbright scholar will give his inaugural lecture at a public event Oct. 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[54],"tags":[191],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5967"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5967"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5969,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5967\/revisions\/5969"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
