Community Presentations
As part of our outreach efforts, we have instituted a pool of speakers, drawn from members of the Centre for Defence & Security Studies, to speak on various International Relations issues in general, and as they relate to Canada in particular. Members of the pool have spoken to High School Social Studies classes and various community organizations across the province.

While a complete list of topics is impossible to generate - especially in an international arena that is constantly changing - the list below contains possible topics for consideration. We are also keen to address issues that may be of particular interest to your class or organization. In this context, members of the Centre have travelled widely in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, Europe and the United States.

To arrange for a speaker, please contact Heather Bowers (Centre Administrative Assistant) at 474-6472.
