New writer in residence

November 28, 2011

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Office of Advancement are pleased to announce Athabasca University's 2011/2012 Writer in Residence, Tololwa Mollel.

Mollel is well-known as a story teller and has written several books for children. He explores the oral traditions of African and North American cultures in his writing and performances.

The residency will support his research into oral
traditions and allow him to create more stories and performances.

He is available as a resource to developing writers, both staff and students. For information on the residency and contacting Tololwa, please check the WIR website .

In late January Tololwa will perform at a public reception. Look for an official notice early in the new year.

We wish to thank the Canada Council for the Arts, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Zoomer Media and the CARP Writer for Health project for their support of AU's Writer in Residence.
