Attend the 2024 CBC Massey Lectures in Victoria
CBC Massey Lectures | October 19
The CBC Massey Lectures are back this fall, and they're coming to Victoria, B.C. on October 19!
This year, novelist and poet Ian Williams wants to start a conversation about conversations. He says we need to address how civic and civil discourse has deteriorated.
His 2024 Massey Lectures are called What I Mean to Say: Remaking Conversation In Our Time. Both serious and playful at the same time, Williams suggests that we need to realize that one-half of our conversations is, in fact, listening.
In October, Williams will visit five Canadian provinces for live recordings of his Massey Lectures. The cities are: Sydney, Iqaluit, Saskatoon, Victoria and Toronto. The series will be broadcast on CBC Radio's IDEAS and be made available as a podcast and on CBC Listen in November.
Tickets are now on sale through the theatre box offices.
