 Dr. Calero will explore the emergence and consolidation of a culture of violence which has permeated Colombia during its history. Special attention will be given to the role of recent guerrilla, para-military, and government armed forces as they legitimize their actions on the basis of their own cultural construction of the enemy.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
