In the meantime...
IOB alumni are often very interesting guest lecturers
for our students, with specific expertise linked to topics
covered during the master programme. This year, three
alumni were invited to give a guest lecture to our current
IOB students.
The first alumnus guest speaker was Nick Jacobs (2013,
United Kingdom) coordinator of IPES Food. On the 20th
of February 2017, he presented a session on “Agriculture-
food-environment paradigms: Understanding the industrial
agriculture narrative”. About a month later, Guggi Laryea
(Ghana, 1996), currently a consultant on Partnerships at
the World Bank was invited to present his insights on
‘The World Bank: history and current role from an insider’s
perspective?’ to IOB students. Finally, Sandra Montoya, a
former student at IOB and currently research professor at
the Catholic University of Colombia, recently presented
her new book entitled ‘Política exterior y diplomacia
cultural: Hacia Colombia en posconflicto’ to the IOB
audience.
