For anyone interested, there is a special world affairs colloquium (WAC) at Trent today titled "Afghanistan: Rebuilding a Fractured Society". Nipa Banerjee will provide a critical perspective on Canada's involvement in Afghanistan i.e. should we even be there? And if we should be, how can we be more constructive and effective with our efforts?
It will be held in the Lady Eaton College Pit and will start at 3pm. The talk will run for about 1 hour, with 30 minutes for questions.
Nipa Banerjee is the former head of Canada's aid program in Afghanistan (2003-'06). She currently teaches at the School of International Development and Global Studies at the University of Ottawa.
