As co-host of CBC Radio's As It Happens for a decade and a half, Carol Off interviewed over 25,000 people, giving her a unique vantage point on this era of increasing polarization. In her bestselling book At a Loss for Words, she explores how language has been distorted and weaponized, and what happens when we lose our shared meaning for words like democracy, freedom and truth.

For our first event of this season, Carol Off will appear in conversation with Aftab Erfan, Executive Director of SFU Centre for Dialogue.

The BC Libraries Present collaborative initiative makes the same high-quality, virtual programming available to all public libraries in the province. This season’s line up is focused on Upheaval and will examine major issues like democracy, technology, misinformation, public discourse, and AI through thought-provoking conversations with some of today’s most insightful authors!
