University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) will launch a new Workforce Lecture Series featuring distinguished international governance expert Dr. Carlyle G. Corbin. The seven-week course, titled Caribbean Governance and Constitutional Evolution, begins Tuesday, 28th October, and will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams.
Designed for students, researchers, policymakers, NGO staff, and community leaders, the course offers a deeper understanding of the historical, legal, and administrative foundations that shape the Caribbean’s constitutional arrangements. Sessions will be held on every Tuesday for seven weeks, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., making them accessible to working professionals and adult learners. Registration is CI $650 and is available at connect.ucci.edu.ky/register/WRC.
Dr. Corbin brings decades of high-level international experience to the series. He currently serves as Senior Analyst with the Dependency Studies Project and has held several senior roles with the United Nations, including Executive Secretary Emeritus of the Council of Presidents of the UN General Assembly, Independent Expert on Decolonisation for the UN Decolonization Committee, and Constitutional Advisor with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) to Anguilla.
He has also advised UN Visiting Missions to Bermuda and the Turks & Caicos Islands and worked with governments and institutions in Bermuda, Curaçao, French Polynesia, and other territories.
“This course provides a unique opportunity for professionals, policymakers, students and community members to build a deeper understanding of governance and constitutional processes in the Caribbean,” said Dr. Livingston Smith, Acting President and CEO of UCCI.
“Our goal is to support informed, constructive dialogue on these important policy areas: This lecturer series represents a rare and valuable opportunity for meaningful dialogue, particularly for those who are interested in expanding their knowledge and engaging in thoughtful discussion.”
Dr. Corbin is also a noted author and educator, having lectured at the University of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam, and published extensively on governance and constitutional development in dependent territories.
The Workforce Lecture Series underscores UCCI’s commitment to lifelong learning and professional development, offering the Cayman Islands community a chance to engage directly with one of the region’s leading experts in governance.
