2016 Beaverbrook Annual Lecture

For its flagship event, the 2016 Beaverbrook Annual Lecture, Media@McGill is excited to announce two speakers: Sheila Watt-Cloutier, environmental, cultural and human rights advocate and author of The Right to be Cold, and Elena Bennett, Associate Professor, McGill University, who will each give a talk then engage in a Q&A with the public on the overall issues of media and the environment.

Watt-Cloutier and Bennett join an impressive roster of speakers who have taken part in this event, which includes luminaries such as Al Gore, Angela Davis, Seymour Hersh, and Glenn Greenwald, among others.

The Lecture will take place on Monday, October 24, 2014 at Moot Court, Faculty of Law, McGill University, Montréal, Quebec. As always, the Lecture is free and open to the public.

Media@McGill is a hub of research, scholarship and public outreach on issues and controversies in media, technology and culture, based in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University, Montréal, Canada. It was created and has been sustained by generous funding from the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation.
