A Tribute to Patrick O'Flaherty
The Department of English will present a tribute to Dr. Patrick O'Flaherty, former Head of the Department, on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, at 1 pm in the Junior Common Room of Gushue Hall.
A Johnson scholar, a novelist, a trailblazing critic of Newfoundland literature, a historian of Newfoundland and Labrador, and a founder of the journal Newfoundland Studies, Patrick O'Flaherty passed away this summer, bequeathing a priceless literary and scholarly legacy to the Department and the university.
The tribute will include readings by Dr. Caitlin Charman, Professor Mary Dalton, Mr. Philip Hiscock, Ms. Elizabeth Hicks, and Dr. Don Nichol. All are welcome; there will be a reception following the event.
