Margaret Dalziel Lecture
The Dalziel Lecture is the signature event in the English and Linguistics Programme.

Dalziel was the first female Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the University of Otago, she was Head of the English Department (and its first female professor). She also taught and mentored some of Aotearoa's most prominent literary figures.
