Why has Canadian Literature been at the heart of public controversies recently?

That’s the question that editors Hannah McGregor, Julie Rak, and Erin Wunker address in the illuminating collection of essays, Refuse: CanLit in Ruins.

Join us for an evening of discussions about what is happening with the world of CanLit. Come learn about the injustices and issues that have sparked the current controversies, and hear from Canadian writers whose perspectives are changing the conversation about what CanLit is and what it could be.

The evening will feature discussions with:

– Co-ditors Hannah McGregor, Julie Rak, Erin Wunker
– Writers Phoebe Wang, Gwen Benaway, Dorothy Ellen Palmer
