Massey Lectures
Notable Massey lecturers have included Northrop Frye, John Kenneth Galbraith, Noam Chomsky, Jean Vanier, Margaret Atwood, Ursula Franklin, George Steiner, Claude Levi Strauss, and Nobel laureates Martin Luther King Jr., George Wald, Willy Brandt, and Doris Lessing.[2] In 2003, novelist Thomas King was the first person of Cherokee descent to be invited as a lecturer.[3] The event is co-sponsored by CBC Radio, House of Anansi Press and Massey College in the University of Toronto.[4] The lectures are broadcast each November on Ideas and published simultaneously in book form by House of Anansi Press.[7] For Lawrence Hill's Massey Lectures in 2013, the CBC Radio website featured a visual narrative to accompany that year's theme Blood: The Stuff of Life.
