About this event
The series is convened by Yvonne Mitchell
Margaret is both a retired lawyer as well as a retired social psychologist. She has received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her volunteerism and a K.C. (King's Counsel) designation for her legal work. . In her newly published book, Lost Legacies: Learning from Ancestral Stories for Inspiration and Policy-Making Today, Margaret Ostrowski opens our eyes to the power of our ancestors' stories - their escapes from hostile regimes and incredible resilience despite brutal hardships. Her book won a Gold Winner award from the U.S. Non-Fiction Book Awards.
