Off the Shelf

In this section we feature papers, podcasts and videos that-while part
of our archives-are
still relevant to current events.

In honour of the recent announcement of His Excellency, the Right
Honourable David
Johnston's addition to our Big Thinking line-up, we thought it would
be appropriate
to revisit the Big Thinking address of another (former) resident of
Rideau Hall
- the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean. Last year, Michaëlle Jean and
her husband
Jean-Daniel Lafond spoke at Congress. A video of their keynote, "To
the Arts Citizens!
Social Mediation through the Arts," is available here
