Please join Carleton Journalism on Wednesday March 12 in the Richcraft Hall Atrium for the 2025 Kesterton Lecture, “Courage in a Time of Joy,” featuring CBC Sports Senior Contributor Shireen Ahmed.
Ahmed’s lecture will focus on the growth of women’s sports, the courage to talk about wider issues that affect women’s sport globally, and the silence that has fenced those spaces.
After the keynote, Ahmed will be joined on stage for a conversation moderated by CBC journalist Emma Weller, a Carleton Journalism alum and former Ravens varsity hockey player.
Join us for a reception and light refreshments at 6:00 pm, followed by the lecture at 7:00 pm. The lecture is open to all, and we welcome you to join us in person or virtually via YouTube livestream.
