CanWest's Matthew Fisher to deliver Kesterton Lecture

This, from Carleton University:

Matthew Fisher, who has been in Afghanistan 16 times since September 2001 as Canwest’s Middle East and South Asia bureau chief, will deliver this year’s Kesterton Lecture. The lecture is titled “Canada in Afghanistan: How Well Has the Story Been Told?”

The lecture is scheduled for Mar. 31 at 7 p.m., with a reception to follow. It’s slated for the Minto Building’s Bell Theatre.

He arrives back in Canada two days prior to the lecture, Director CHRIS WADDELL notes. “So he will be on top of what is happening [in Afghanistan]. We are going to send the invitation to the defence and military communities, the aid community, DND, Foreign Affairs, MPs and the press gallery, so we hope to get a good turnout for the lecture and discussion.”

Good of Matt to agree to speak so soon after coming back from downrange - if his coverage is anything to go by, it will be worth hearing what he has to share. If you want a taste of Matt's first-rate work,
