Author and Canadian Studies consultant David Stewart will be discussing his memoir, True North, Down South. Using a Canadian émigré lens, the essay collection entertains and educates readers about immigrant and national identity, cultural misunderstandings, and belonging in the modern world. David Wayne Stewart is a „professional Canadian“ in California, helping Canadian tech clusters connect into the Bay Area ecosystem. He is a former „chairmoose“ of the Digital Moose Lounge, an association of Canadians in Silicon Valley, and the Advisory Board Chair of Canadian Studies at UC Berkeley. His essays have received awards in San Francisco’s Soul-Making Keats literary competition and have appeared in Potato Soup Journal, Bewildering Stories, and The Quiet Reader.
