Event Speaker: Arpita Ghosal

As a child, Arpita Ghosal pestered her storyteller grandmother for “just one more story” so incessantly that her mother taught her to read out of desperation. Her love of stories led her to a PhD in English literature, a career in public and post-secondary education, and a passion for arts journalism. Arpita writes constantly at Sesaya Arts Magazine (sesayarts.com), regularly interviewing artists and authors to help them share their stories. She works at the TDSB, where she has held various teaching and leadership roles. Her life as a mother to three remarkable children and a one-of-a-kind rescue dog yields wondrous stories and experiences. And she remains an avid reader with far too many books teetering on multiple surfaces.
