A lecture on reparations and psychological rehabilitation scheduled to take place tomorrow has been cancelled.

The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs has been forced to postpone the annual Dr Kenneth E. Robinson/Cyril Outerbridge Packwood Memorial Lecture because guest speaker Dr Verene Shepherd was unable to travel due to illness.

Dr Shepherd is the Professor of Social History and Gender Development Studies at the University of West Indies. Her lecture is entitled Reparation, Psychological Rehabilitation and Pedagogical Strategies.

According to a Ministry spokesman, the department plans to reschedule the event for the second week of September and will announce the new date and time shortly.
