2014 Southam Lecture
The Ring
Heroes or chokers, rich or poor, pro or amateur, there’s nothing simple about how we see athletes. “We even demand all of them to be role models, as though athleticism is itself imbued with some noble purpose,” says noted sports writer and veteran journalist Tom Hawthorn. Hawthorn is the 2014 Southam Lecturer for the Department of Writing and will discuss our love/hate relationship with athletes in a free public lecture at 7pm Wednesday, January 29, in UVic’s HSD A240.
