Discussion of “DUCKS” by Kate Beaton
April 26 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
$15.00
Migration is not a new phenomenon, nor is it unusual. Since the day life appeared on this planet, it’s been on the move. Plants, animals, and ultimately people followed needed resources as climate, geography and man-made borders evolved — a pattern that continues to this day. In our new inter-disciplinary series, we examine the impact on geopolitics, societies, public health, the environment and ourselves.
In this presentation, Kate Beaton discusses her graphic novel of oil sands migration, “Ducks”.
When Kate Beaton migrated west to work in Alberta’s oilsands, she didn’t know what to expect — other than a job that would allow her to pay down her student loans. With “Ducks,” Beaton’s graphic memoir that’s now competing in Canada Reads, she sought to show people what the experience can really be like.
