Margaret Atwood at Winspear Centre, October 1/08

Canadian author, poet and environmental activist Margaret Atwood will give the Hurtig Lecture on the Future of Canada on October 1/08 at Winspear Centre.

The University of Alberta centenary event is called Which Canada? and will discuss the challenges and choices of Canadians in the early 21st century.

"Margaret Atwood is unquestionably a leading Canadian thinker and engaged citizen," says Janine Brodie, Canada Research Chair in Political Economy and Social Governance.

"Throughout her distinguished and widely acclaimed career, she has sparked our imaginations and animated public debate about such critical questions as gender equality, national identities, public support for the arts and environmental sustainability."
