Annual Peter Craigie Memorial Lecture
Inaugurated in 1988, the lecture series honours the memory of our colleague and friend, Peter Craigie (d. 1985). Prof. Craigie was a member of the department of Religious Studies, Dean of the Faculty of Humanites, and Vice-President (Academic) of the University. Each year, a distinguished lecturer is invited to address the university and Calgary area communities on topics from the discipline of Religious Studies. The lecture series is sponsored by the Faculty of Arts, the Department of Religious Studies, and the University Chaplains. |  |
