It's Bombs Away on November 12, 2008 as Dr. Wesley Wark talks to Capital Crime Writers about security, intelligence, the cold war and military conflict.
You've probably read articles by Dr. Wark in the National Post, or in Macleans magazine or heard him on radio or TV. That's because his field of expertise includes intelligence and security issues, cold war issues, and military conflict. His interests also include the popular culture of espionage, and the study of terrorism and counter-terrorism. He is a frequent commentator on these various issues in the media.
Dr. Wark teaches at the Munk Centre for International Studies at Trinity College, U of T. He is also an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Toronto's St. George Campus, and a visiting Professor at the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.
He is the co-editor of the London-based journal, Intelligence and National Security and editor in chief of the Oxford University Press encyclopedia, The Companion to Modern Espionage. He has served as a consultant to the Privy Council Office of Canada on intelligence policy and is working on a book on Canada and the War on Terror.
Please join us on November 12 at 7:00 p.m. at the Library and Archives Canada. Visitors are welcome, the CCW guest fee is $10.00
