Join us for a book talk with author Ken Wilson about his new memoir Walking the Bypass about his experiences walking alongside the decidedly pedestrian-unfriendly Regina Bypass, all while situating the highway within the ongoing history of settler colonialism in southern Saskatchewan.Fellow author and professor Jesse Archibald Barber will talk with Ken Wilson about how his journeys on foot allowed him to reflect on the profound transformations to the land since the arrival of settlers and helped him to form a connection with the land through walking—even on the gravelly edge of the freeway—the kind of place we think of as "nowhere".
The authors will be appearing at the University of Regina’s Dr. John Archer Library & Archives (Regina and Wascana Rooms) on Tuesday, October 7th at 12PM. Dean of Libraries Brett Waytuck will provide greetings and Editorial Director of University of Regina Press, Marcel DeCoste will introduce book that's being heralded as “original, unsettling, and provocative.”
After the book talk ends, refreshments will be served and books will be available for sale. The author will be pleased to sign copies.
Don't miss out on what promises to be a lively discussion!
