The Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture is the CLC's annual flagship event dedicated to nurturing public and scholarly engagement with the pressing concerns of writers in Canada. Each year an established author is invited to deliver an original lecture on an issue that is important to them, with some lectures featured on CBC Radio One's IDEAS. The lecture series showcases the myriad ways in which writers help us to understand the textures of life and literature in this country. Each Kreisel Lecture is also co-published with the University of Alberta Press as part of the Kreisel Series.
