2012 Flemming Lecture

Posted by University of King's College on September 18, 2012 in General Announcements

Writer and editor Douglas Gibson will deliver the 2012 Flemming Lecture at the University of Kingā€™s College on 20 September, 7.00 PM in Alumni Hall. In his lecture, ā€œWith a pinch of genius: A recipe to produce great authors,ā€Gibson will wonder aloud whether the ā€˜own the podiumā€™ approach to Canadian athletic events can be used to encourage the production of writers likely to write great books. Gibson will refer to many of the Great Book texts on the Kingā€™s Foundation Year Programme and also look at the context for writers today, including the education system, illiteracy rates, the teaching of reading and writing, government support, publishing and e-publishing.
