MacKay Lectures

 

The annual MacKay Lecture Series features four lectures given by internationally renowned speakers, addressing subjects related to the liberal and performing arts. Three of the lectures revolve around a common interdisciplinary theme chosen each year by the Faculty Research Development Committee. The one remaining lecture is on a broadly based historical theme, in recognition of the generous donation funding the lecture series, given by Gladys MacKay in appreciation of the education that her husband, the Reverend Malcolm Ross MacKay received at Dalhousie as a B.A. student in History (1927).
