This year, for the Massey Lectures, I’d like us to talk about conversations–what kinds we have, how they’ve changed, who gets silenced, and why we should keep talking to each other.

I envision these as a different kind of Massey Lecture, both in spoken and written forms. Grab the book, What I Mean to Say: Remaking Conversation in Our Time, this fall. And join me in one of five Canadian cities to hear the lectures in person. Bring your enemies with you.

More details coming soon. Here’s an interview about the lectures in the meantime.
