“Most importantly she makes us consider, question and reckon with the status quo.” That’s just one description of Dionne Brand, this year’s pick to offer the York University Kitty Lundy Memorial Lecture. As you settle in to listen to her, expect not to be entertained but challenged to stay a while (50 minutes), to hear her out. An award-winning poet, writer of fiction and non-fiction, and compelling speaker, Dionne is reflecting on what has been revealed through this pandemic in her address “What we saw. What we made. When we emerge.” NB: Dionne Brand's lecture starts at the 15 minute point after introductions.
