Autorenporträt
Ronald Labelle is a recently-retired professor of French Studies at Cape Breton University. His research has always focused on the language and culture of Acadians in the Atlantic Provinces. He began his career in 1979 as Folklore archivist at the Université de Moncton's Centre d'études acadiennes. He has written extensively on folk traditions and oral history. In 1986, he was awarded the France-Acadie literary prize in Paris for Au Village-du-Bois, a book based on life stories gathered in a rural New Brunswick community. During the past fifteen years, he has been actively involved in storytelling, most notably as Storyteller-in-residence at the Cape Breton Regional Library from 2015 to 2019. He also curated an exhibit held at the Université de Moncton's Acadian Museum in 2011, entitled "The Art of Storytelling in Acadie". More recently, in 2023, he led a workshop on memoir writing at the Sydney branch of the Cape Breton Regional Library.
