Simon Fraser University’s Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) invites you to participate in a two-day national dialogue exploring the evolving role of the public university in a time of intersecting crises. Climate disruption. Democratic strain. Widening inequality. Public health challenges. Under-regulated AI. Financial pressures facing post-secondary institutions. In this moment of polycrisis, what is the responsibility of the public university? This gathering convenes scholars, community leaders, policymakers, and students to reflect on how higher education can act not only as a site of analysis, but as a civic institution embedded in the communities and futures it helps shape.
