Join Ainsley Hawthorn, Ph.D., for a conversation centered around her book, "Land of Many Shores." Hawthorn's collection of essays delves into the rich tapestry of life in Newfoundland and Labrador, offering a platform to voices often marginalized—Indigenous communities, cultural minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those with disabilities. Through these narratives, we examine and celebrate the vibrant diversity that flourishes against the scenic backdrop of Newfoundland and Labrador.

This is a free event but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709) 757-8090. Includes admission to exhibitions and a coffee from The Rooms café.
