EDITOR\u2019S NOTE: This event has been cancelled as part of Brock University\u2019s ongoing efforts to protect the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and the community in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Marilyn Rose Lecture Series talk and reading will honour the late professor\u2019s commitment to justice, communication and the role art can play in facilitating new relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarilyn Rose was an excellent scholar deeply committed to thinking through the hardest, knottiest problems facing the country,\u201d says Gregory Betts, Professor with the Department of English and organizer of this year\u2019s lecture.\u00a0\u201cShe was committed to women\u2019s writing, to empathy and to using literature to embody the gesture of listening while speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

This kind of serious listening, empathy and commitment to rethinking is evident in the work of this year\u2019s guest speakers.<\/p>\n

Richard Monture, a member of the Mohawk nation, Turtle clan, from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, will be speaking on the legacy of Canadian poets. Monture is the Director of the Indigenous Studies Program at McMaster University, where he is an Associate Professor, and is also the author of We Share Our Matters: Two Centuries of Writing and Resistance at Six Nations of the Grand River<\/em>.<\/p>\n

His talk will explore how the work of 19th century Mohawk poet E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) helps us to imagine and understand contemporary complexities of Indigenous-settler relations.<\/p>\n

Accomplished American poet Alice Notley will also be reading from her new book, For the Ride<\/em>, that considers how language must change in a time of global disaster. Considered one of America\u2019s greatest living poets, Notley has published over forty books of poetry.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada is going through a serious national rethink right now with regards to Indigenous-Canadian relations,\u201d says Betts. \u201cIn this time of uncertainty and change, it will be very productive and provocative to think about models of disruption that open up possibilities, rather than just shut things down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now in its fourth season, the annual lecture was\u00a0launched in 2017<\/a>\u00a0to honour the memory of English Professor and founding Dean of Brock\u2019s Faculty of Graduate Studies Marilyn Rose, who passed away in 2015.<\/p>\n

The free lecture is organized by the Centre for Canadian Studies and the Department of English Language and Literature, in collaboration with the Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film. Each year\u2019s theme is chosen to reflect Rose\u2019s own passions, which included detective fiction, national and literary iconography, modern and contemporary poetry, and Canadian short fiction.<\/p>\n

The public is welcome to attend this free talk. Refreshments are provided.<\/p>\n
