Writer and editor Douglas Gibson will deliver the 2012 Flemming Lecture at the University of Kingâs College on 20 September, 7.00 PM in Alumni Hall. In his lecture, âWith a pinch of genius: A recipe to produce great authors,âGibson will wonder aloud whether the âown the podiumâ approach to Canadian athletic events can be used to encourage the production of writers likely to write great books. Gibson will refer to many of the Great Book texts on the Kingâs Foundation Year Programme and also look at the context for writers today, including the education system, illiteracy rates, the teaching of reading and writing, government support, publishing and e-publishing.
