A talk on El Salvador: Exposing Canadians to Conflict and Development


The upcoming World Affairs Colloquium at Trent features David Morrison who will be speaking about El Salvador: Exposing Canadians to Conflict and Development. A discussion will follow the 70 minute film which is the product of an educational trip to El Salvador. It illustrates reflections and images of the civil war in the 1980s and demonstrates how this experience continues to shape and scar contemporary development.

The event will take place this Friday January 22nd from 2:30 to 4:30pm. It will be held in the Lady Eaton College (LEC) Pit, located next to the LEC dining hall.

Refreshments will be provided to all of our attendees. We encourage you to come to this talk with questions, comments and constructive criticism of the speaker’s topic.
