"In the fall of 2012, Nahlah Ayed was based in London and covering the world for the CBC. Her stories were filed from Riyadh and Tehran, Beirut and Baghdad, India, Pakistan, Kenya, and Haiti. For a decade, she lived in and covered the Middle East for the CBC. Her book, A Thousand Farewells: A Reporter’s Journey from Refugee Camp to the Arab Spring, tells the story of her journey from Winnipeg to a refugee camp in Jordan, which formed the foundation of her life as a foreign correspondent. Days after she visited the campus she was back in Egypt, reporting from Tahrir Square."

A journalist, lecturer, and bestselling writer, Philip Lee began his career as an investigative reporter on Canada’s east coast. Restigouche emerged from his long-standing interest in rivers and the people who love them. His first book, Home Pool: The Fight to Save the Atlantic Salmon, grew out of his award-winning reporting on the decline of the Atlantic salmon. Lee is also the author of Frank: The Life and Politics of Frank McKenna, a national bestseller, and Bittersweet: Confessions of a Twice-Married Man, which was long-listed for the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. A professor at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, Lee developed the Dalton Camp lecture series, broadcast annually by CBC Radio’s Ideas and edited The Next Big Thing (a published collection from the lectures). When he is not writing and teaching, Lee spends as much time as he can following the currents of rivers.
