What I Mean to Say

The 2024 Massey Lectures will be delivered by Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning author Ian Williams.

The Massey Lectures is an annual five-part series of lectures given in Canada by distinguished writers, thinkers, and scholars who explore important ideas and issues of contemporary interest. Created in 1961 in honour of Vincent Massey, the former Governor General of Canada, it is widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed lecture series in the country. The event is co-sponsored by CBC Radio, House of Anansi Press, and Massey College in the University of Toronto. The lectures have been broadcast by the CBC Radio show Ideas since 1965.
