IAN WILLIAMS HAS BEEN NAMED THIS YEAR’S MASSEY LECTURER

The award-winning Canadian writer and professor Ian Williams has been named this year’s Massey Lecturer. Since 1961, the Massey Lectures have invited distinguished writers, thinkers, and scholars to present their ideas in a five-part lecture series across Canada. Ian sits down with Tom Power on Q to tell us why he’s chosen the topic of conversations for his cross-country lecture series, how listening can be a courageous act, and why he believes it’s important to have difficult conversations, even at the risk of offending people.
Ian will tour Canada and the lectures will be broadcast nationally in October 2024. They will be published simultaneously in book form in Canada by House of Anansi Press.
