Francis X. Shea Lecture: Yaa Gyasi

The College of St. Scholastica’s Francis X. Shea Memorial Lecture Lectureship explores the relationship between religion and literature. Yaa Gyasi’s visit is made possible in part by the college’s partnership with the Dignitas Program, which has chosen her book Transcendent Kingdom as a first-year common read for students. Her visit is also made possible by the Honors Program, the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, the Catholic Studies Program, the General Education Program, and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
