Declaring the second Diaspora Conference of the University of Guyana open yesterday, Vice-Chancellor Professor Paloma Mohamed-Martin described the Guyanese diaspora as being, among other things, resilient and transformational. 

“In many regards, our natives have made many countries great, by their sweat, intelligence, creativity and sacrifices,” she said. But was keen on pointing out that the “nuances of these dynamics require urgent scholarly attention.”
