CINF President of the Board, Dr. Siobhan Nash-Marshall and Board Advisor, Dr. Antonia Arslan were invited to speak about the Armenian Genocide and Dr. Arslan’s critically acclaimed book Skylark Farm at the University of Toronto on October 13th, 2017. A screening of the book’s film adaptation, The Lark Farm, prefaced their lectures. Arsinée Khanjian, a member of the film’s cast, was also present to field questions and discuss her role in the production. Their event was part of a larger conference hosted by the University of Toronto concerning literature and minorities.
