The School of Canadian Studies hosts two annual Lecture Series.
The Vickers-Verduyn Lecture in Canadian Studies
The Vickers-Verduyn Speakers Series was established in 2011 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Carleton-Trent joint-PhD in Canadian Studies. Since its inauguration the School of Canadian Studies has invited a wide range of scholars, activists and artists to address the ways in which their work potentially challenges or influences approaches to Canadian Studies research.
The Herb Stovel Memorial Lecture in Heritage Conservation
Jill Taylor delivers the 2019 Herb Stovel Memorial Lecture.
The Herb Stovel Memorial Lecture in Heritage Conservation was established in 2012 to honour Herb Stovel, who was Associate Professor and coordinator of the Heritage Conservation program in the School of Canadian Studies at Carleton University from 2004 to 2012.
View information on past lectures — these are often held in conjunction with the graduate symposium.
The 2023 Herb Stovel lecture will be announced in the early Spring.
From 2002 to 2017 the School also hosted the annual New Sun Conference on Aboriginal Arts.
