Massey Lectures

In 1961 H.G. Walker, the general manager of the English CBC network, announced that each year the CBC would invite a noted scholar to present a series of ½ hour radio broadcasts.   Entitled “The Massey Lectures,” the series has been presented annually with a few exceptions.  Although international in scope, the list of lecturers includes many Canadian authors, scientists, and academics such as John Kenneth Galbraith, Michael Ignatieff, Thomas King, Stephen Lewis, and Margaret Atwood to name but a few.  The lectures are available through the CBC website, as well as print and E-book format from both the Calgary Public Library and the Canadian publisher, House of Anansi Press.
