S7 E6: Exploring Jacobite Memoirs with Dr. Leith Davis
Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in. I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I look forward to sharing this moment with you.
I am thrilled that I am meeting up with Dr. Leith Davis, Professor of English at Simon Fraser University. She is a co-founder of the Department of English’s Master of Arts program with Specialization in Print Culture. Leith the Director of Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Scottish Studies.
Leith is a collector of stories – stories that have been kept safe in the folds of history waiting to be heard. Today, she shares her thoughts on the Jacobite Memoirs of The Rebellion of 1745 from the manuscripts of the Late Right Rev. Robert Forbes, A.M. Bishop of the Scottish Episcopal Church, The Lyon In Mourning.
This promises to be an extraordinary discussion. So, put the kettle on and add to your thoughts on Tea Toast & Trivia
Thank you for joining Leith and me on Tea Toast & Trivia. And a special thank you to Leith who opened the doors of the past and shared the profound stories of brave men and women who witnessed a pivotal transition in history.
I invite you to meet up with Leith The Centre for Scottish Studies , founded in 1998 as a joint venture between Simon Fraser University faculty and individuals in the community. The Centre, located at Simon Fraser’s beautiful Burnaby campus, provides a focal point for faculty, students, and all who are interested in exploring Scottish history and culture and the connections between Scotland and Canada in the contemporary global landscape. It is a place where the past reaches out to our time and reminds us to live boldly, with courage and hope.
Until next time we meet, dear friends, safe travels wherever your adventures lead you!
