Critical Conversations
During the 42nd edition of the Toronto International Festival of Authors, hear from authors, activists and experts as they take part in live, candid conversation to reflect on the topics that matter most in this unprecedented time. These enlightening discussions on crises of health, housing, resources and justice examine how local, national and international politics, technology and culture are helping or hurting our collective sustainability. Tune in each day of the Festival to hear new speakers in critical conversation.
These panels are proudly supported by
