Low Trust, High Stakes: Why Civil Discourse Matters More Than Ever
Date and Time
Wednesday, March 11, 2026
1:00pm – 2:30pm
Speaker(s)
Randy Boyagoda
Description
In this talk, writer and professor Randy Boyagoda, the University of Toronto’s Advisor on Civil Discourse, reflects on the state and stakes of civil discourse these days, on and off campus, and across personal professional, and public settings. In particular, he will explore the importance of trust in and across our personal, professional, and public commitments, and its importance to ensuring robust and vibrant cultures of productive disagreement. These efforts, which we might collectively describe as a commitment to thinking out loud together, support the advance of knowledge, serve the common good and help in the pursuit of truth.
