Jack Williamson Lectureship

Jack Williamson Lectureship Watch this page for information about the next Jack Williamson Lectureship! All events are open to the public, and everything except the luncheon is free.

When Dr. Jack Williamson retired from his position as Professor of English at Eastern New Mexico University in 1977, the university established a lectureship series in his honor - The Jack Williamson Lectureship. Ever since then writers, editors, agents, artists, and speakers have gathered at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales every year to share ideas, insights, and their work with their r

eaders, viewers, collectors, and fans. Held every spring on the ENMU campus, the Jack Williamson Lectureship includes a luncheon with presentations by guests, readings from the works of Jack Williamson, readings of their work by the guest of honor and other author attendees, time for book sales and signing, and panel discussions on a variety of science fiction and fantasy topics.

Happy Pride Month. 🌈⁠
⁠
This month is a celebration of our community, our history, our resilience, and our joy. It’s a time to honor the generations of LGBTQIA+ people who fought for the rights and freedoms many of us enjoy today, while also recognizing that there is still work to be done.⁠
⁠
Now more than ever, it’s important that we come together, support one another, and continue building a world where everyone feels safe, loved, respected, valued, and equal. Every person deserves the freedom to live authentically and be celebrated for exactly who they are.⁠
⁠
From all of us at Rainbow Media Co. and our communities LGBTQ+, Pride and Gayety, Happy Pride Month. We see you, we celebrate you, and we're proud to stand with you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

LIVESTREAM INFORMATION: Many of our lectureship events will be livestreamed via Zoom. The links have been added to the online schedule at www.enmu.edu/scifi and to our Facebook event page ("Featured" post above). Check the time and event title to be sure you've got the correct link. The link for the Saturday creative writing workshop will only be sent to those people who registered in advance. If a link is not provided, that event will not be livestreamed.

We'll do our best to manage all of the streams but please remember that the technology is not perfect and we are not professional streamers. We hope to post the videos online later and will share more information when that happens.

Also - sorry for the weird thumbnail image that shows when we do this link. We can't control that, but the page is worth the click.
