The Philosophers' Café is growing their pool of SFU-based moderators and would like to extend this opportunity to graduate students at SFU. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in community engagement while developing skills in public dialogue.

The extent of your commitment is up to you—you can decide on how many Cafés you would like to moderate in any given term or year. All discussion topics are chosen by the moderators—there is no prep to do in the usual sense, as the custom is to offer some opening remarks to jump-start the discussion.

Aside from the community engagement aspect, and the intrinsic rewards of dialogue with the public, it's a good item for the "service" component of your academic CV.

To inquire about becoming involved as a moderator, please email Michael Filimowicz, Faculty Director of Interdisciplinary Programs in Lifelong Learning, mfa13@sfu.ca
