PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 308 Dr Theresa Ukpo Nigerian Author & Historian

Dr. Theresa M. O. Ukpo’s authoritative work The Forgotten Genocide on the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970) is deeply rooted in her personal experience of the conflict and her subsequent academic career dedicated to understanding large-scale trauma. Born in Owerri, Imo state, Nigeria, to parents who were notable pioneers in the nation’s education system, Dr. Ukpo demonstrated exceptional academic promise early on, earning a full scholarship to Owerri Girls’ Secondary School.  However, this promising high school education was directly interrupted by the outbreak of the Nigeria-Biafra War, a period of massive geopolitical trauma that raged from 1967 to 1970.Episode 308Hosted by: Jeanne Pepper Guest: Dr Theresa UkpoProducer: Eli Moskowitz Original Theme: Jay Bernstein Special Thank You to our volunteersFOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to PeppTalks with JeanneFacebook: PeppTalks with Jeanne PepperInstagram: @pepptalkswithjeanneLinkedIn: Jeanne PepperDISCLAIMER Jeanne Pepper is providing this podcast as a public service.
