Congratulations Joan Templeton!
Attendees at the 2018 International Ibsen Conference banquet were lucky to witness Joan Templeton, former ISA President and Editor of Ibsen News and Comments, receive one of Norway’s highest honors, The Royal Norwegian Order of Merit. This honor is conferred by King Harald and awarded to foreign nationals and Norwegian nationals permanently abroad “for outstanding service in the interests of Norway.” Templeton’s award was specifically for “dissemination of Norwegian culture.”
In the photograph, Templeton (who has just received the honor) stands with Frode Helland, former Head of the Ibsen Centre. Here is the full text of her acceptance speech:
