Canadian journalist and author Gwynne Dyer will be speaking at UPEI on Monday, February 25 in the Duffy Science Centre, room 135 at 7:00 pm. Gwynne Dyer has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster, and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years, but he originally trained as a historian. Born in Newfoundland, he received degrees from Canadian, American, and British universities, finishing with a PhD in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London. His public lecture at UPEI will be "The Triumph of Non-Violence." Non-violent revolution is both more common and more successful in the modern world than the old and bloody version, but few people really understand it. This is an attempt to explain how and why it works. This event is free and all are welcome to attend.
