CARNIVAL COMES TO MONA IN TRINIDAD STYLE

“Come Wi Go Down Memory Lane” is a ten part series featuring articles of report and stories from the U(C)WI Pelican Annual Magazine. This week’s feature “Carnival Comes to Mona in Trinidad Style”, is from the 1956 Pelican Magazine and is a detailed report on the introduction of Trinidadian Carnival to the Mona Campus. COVID-19 has significantly impacted carnival this year and so we take this opportunity to revel in previous carnivals.

We took the opportunity to interview Dr Natalie Dietrich-Jones about the current trends in the study of migration.
