The lecture, an annual event since 1986, honours the founding chairman of the Department of English, one of Carleton's original faculty. It is sponsored by the Department and the Dean of Arts. Robert Kroetsch was born in Heisler, Alberta, and his created worlds are closely tied to the landscapes of his native province, to the farm life of his childhood, and to his early experiences in the North and the West. Robert Kroetsch's latest interest is autobiography. The lecture will be given on Friday, February 2, at 8.00 p.m. in the Bell Theatre, Carleton University.
Admission is free.
There is parking on the campus, and the OC Transpo No. 7 bus stops by the Bell Theatre.
