    Love the Questions Round Table

    Ian Angus’s latest book, Love the Questions: University Education and Enlightenment, is a provocative look at the central questions facing university education today. Drawing on decades of experience in the scholarly trenches, Ian Angus considers the future of academic freedom in an increasingly corporate university setting, the role of technology, interdisciplinary study, and the possibilities for critical enlightenment and solidarity.

    Join us for a panel discussion of Angus’s book, with Darin Barney (Canada Research Chair in Technology & Citizenship and Associate Professor of Communication Studies at McGill University), Adrienne Burk (faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at SFU), and Claire Polster (Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Studies at the University of Regina).
