This year, the Faculty of Arts and Science is hosting a special Homecoming edition of the Meisel Lecture Series to honour the life and legacy of Dr. John Meisel, not only in the political landscape but as a member of the Queen’s community.
The Dr. John Meisel Lecture in Contemporary Political Controversies will feature two mini-lectures followed by a moderated Q&A discussion panel.
