About
Join the University of Regina Press and CT JumpStart in celebrating the launch of (re)Pebbling: A Story of Blackness and Curling, a graphic novel that cracks open the culture of the sport and that invites us to imagine and define the future of belonging in curling and in sports.
The author Dr. Richard Norman and illustrator Jon Olbey will be featured. Joining them to discuss this sharp, stylish, and soul-stirring graphic novel will be Dr. Janelle Joseph, CBC Sports Senior Contributor Shireen Ahmed, and Dr. Christopher Taylor. This engaging conversation will be moderated by San José Sharks Broadcaster Tara Slone. Books will be available for sale and signing. This event is free and open to the public.
