Join us for a public lecture but 2019 Jack Matthews Fellow, author and adventurer Kate Harris, whose first book, Lands of Lost Borders: Out of Bounds on the Silk Road, is a national bestseller and multiple award-winner (including the prestigious 2019 RBC Taylor Prize). 

Named by Canadian Geographic one of the country’s top modern-day explorers for journeys edging the limits of nations and prudence, Harris will share the story of her first book Lands of Lost Borders. Weaving adventure and deep reflection with the history of science and exploration, this national best-seller explores the nature of limits and the wildness of a world that, like the self and like the stars, can never be fully mapped.

Between sneaking illegally across Tibet, studying the history of science at Oxford, and staring down a microscope for a doctorate at MIT, Kate Harris realized that she didn’t have to launch to the planet Mars to feel a sense of discovery. Weaving adventure, history, and reflections on her travels, Harris joins us to explore the meaning of “exploration” on our mapped and tamed world in this talk about her bicycle journey on the Silk Road.

PUBLIC LECTURE: October 29 at 8 pm (doors open at 7:30 pm), The Canadian Canoe Museum – Lands of Lost Borders: The Meaning of Exploration in a Modern, Mapped World. Admission is free or by donation. Light refreshments will be served.
