News Release

*******************

CICAS is delighted to present the final 2014-15 panel talk, “CREATING THE NORTH,” by Drs. Colleen Franklin (English, Thorneloe University/Laurentian University; retired), Elizabeth Ashworth (Schulich School of Education, Nipissing University), and Laurie Kruk (English, Nipissing University).

This panel approaches the question of how we “Create the North” (and Canada, its reflection) through literature, visual art and poetry. Using the familiar metaphor of “exploration” in and of Canada, the panelists consider how identity changes environment and environment changes identity, with examples drawn from painting, photography, poetry and pedagogy.
