Join two of Canada’s most beloved trans authors, Vivek Shraya and Kai Cheng Thom, as they celebrate the release of two new works of fiction, Shraya’s The Hystericals, and Thom’s The Shapeshifter’s Guide to Gym Class. These books explore dystopian and utopian worlds that are frightening, fantastical, and not so far away from the world we live in today.

A reception will follow, and the University Campus Store will be on site to sell copies of both books.

October 13th, 7 PM, at Darke Hall, Regina.

Admission is free but registration is recommended: https://purchase.darkehall.ca/EventAvailability?EventId=38401 (click "Book Now").

Dr. Raymond Blake, Professor of History at the University of Regina, will talk about his new book Outport Woman: Life on the Ocean's Edge, this Thursday, September 17th, 4 pm, at the Archer Library. The book uncovers the remarkable life of Minnie Beatrice Blake, a woman who spent nearly eighty years on Newfoundland’s rugged South Coast. Through Minnie’s experiences, readers are invited into a world of resilience, loss, laughter, and love – where women held families and communities together in the face of hardship and change.
