Annual Lecture
John McKendy Memorial Lecture on Narrative
The annual CIRN lecture is named in honour of Dr. John McKendy, a much loved and respected member of the St. Thomas community and a founding and active member of CIRN until his death in October 2008. John passionately explored the interplay of discourse and narrative in relation to justice work in our society, a passion reflected in his research, teaching, and activism.
