World-renowned author Salman Rushdie will give Transylvania\nUniversity\u2019s 2019 William R. Kenan Jr. Lecture on Wednesday, March 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public is invited to this free event at 7:30 p.m. in Haggin\nAuditorium. Reserve tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A powerful literary artist who has shown sweeping creative\ncourage even against threats to his life, Rushdie exemplifies the theme of\nTransylvania\u2019s 2018-19 academic year: \u201cOn Civility<\/a>.\u201d\nThis also is the topic of his lecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writer\u2019s visit is one of the main events in the university\u2019s inaugural New Frontiers season<\/a>, which asks the campus and surrounding community to go beyond the familiar and explore ideas, art and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are honored to have for this year\u2019s Kenan speaker Sir\nSalman Rushdie, whose immense literary talent and courage sparked an\ninternational dialogue on civility,\u201d President Seamus Carey said. \u201cThe event is\none of the highlights of this academic year and our New Frontiers series. We\nlook forward to exploring new and challenging ideas with our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rushdie has authored 13 novels, including \u201cMidnight\u2019s\nChildren\u201d and \u201cThe Satanic Verses.\u201d His books\u2014which have won numerous\nawards<\/a>, including the Booker Prize, Writers\u2019 Guild Award and Whitbread\nPrize for Best Novel\u2014have been translated into more than 40 languages. His\nrecognitions also include the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres\u2014France\u2019s highest\nartistic honor\u2014and the Edgerton Prize of the American Civil Liberties Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other internationally known speakers who have delivered\nTransylvania\u2019s Kenan Lecture include Elie Wiesel, Kurt Vonnegut, John Updike\nand Beverly Sills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being a New Frontiers event, Rushdie\u2019s lecture is part of Transylvania\u2019s Creative Intelligence Series<\/a>, which also focus on civility. This year’s events have included a Grammy-nominated oratorio about Matthew Shepard and a discussion with Dylan Marron, an award-winning podcaster who chats with people who have been hostile to him online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy hope is that the Creative Intelligence guests to\nTransylvania\u2019s campus will give us tools and inspiration to expand our sense of\ncivility and to put it in action,\u201d said Zo\u00e9 Strecker, an art professor and\ndirector of Creative Intelligence and special academic programming. \u201cIt is a\ntremendous privilege to share these constructive experiments with the community\nat large.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
