“The Many Faces of Love: Celebrating the Lifework of Carl Leggo”
Very few scholars are able to pursue a rich artistic life amidst challenging academic demands, yet that is exactly what our friend and colleague, Prof. Carl Leggo, has been able to achieve. His poetry is riveting and his poetic inquiry, inspiring. Coupled with his compassionate and passionate scholarship in education, many of us look to his art, scholarship and professionalism for guidance, insight, and inspiration. While his work has left an indelible mark on Canadian curriculum studies it may be that his mentorship of emerging scholars has left the most remarkable contribution of all. In so many ways, Prof. Carl Leggo has had a profound influence on Canadian artistry and scholarship: his work is simply unparalleled.
While CSSE is at UBC in 2019, it seems fitting to celebrate the lifetime contributions of Prof. Carl Leggo, whose career has been set in the Department of Language and Literacy Education in the Faculty of Education, at UBC. During a one-day preconference we imagine artist-scholars contributing reflective papers exploring ideas and concepts found in Leggo’s rich repertoire of scholarship. We also imagine artful occasions when gifts of poetry are shared. We hope the day is both evocative and provocative, as we learn from Leggo’s outstanding contributions and look toward recognizing his continued impact in the years ahead.
