From childcare to health care to elder care, everyone depends on care for themselves and their loved ones. The need for equitable access to care services continues to grow as populations age, women’s participation in the labour market increases, and challenges like the climate crisis threaten health and safety. At the same time, shifting work patterns and back-to-office mandates are changing how people navigate care responsibilities, commutes, and community life. High-quality care services not only support the well-being of care recipients but also open economic and social opportunities for caregivers. Caring communities are essential for building just, resilient, and flourishing cities—now and in the future. ***How can cities meet the demand for equitable, accessible care? How can we prepare urban systems to support care in a rapidly changing global economy?*** Answering these questions is critical for businesses, policymakers, civic organizations, developers, planners, and engaged citizens—because we all benefit from cities that are vibrant, inclusive, and built to care. **Ticket link** and more info on panelists HERE: https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/news-events-and-ideas/public-events/events-listings/2026/january-2026/jan-12-feminist-city-60/ See you there/inside!

(This EVENT is now FULL--currently NO tickets left) ***Toronto Public Library presents acclaimed novelist Esi Edugyan and celebrated historian Tiya Miles in a conversation that challenges the boundaries between fiction and history.*** ***In conversation with CBC Ideas host Nahlah Ayed.*** **FREE Eventbrite ticket** link is below--you need this entry ticket! \*\*National Book Award winner, **Tiya Miles**, brings the tools of fiction, vivid characterization, emotional resonance, and narrative suspense, to her groundbreaking histories of enslaved women and Indigenous communities. \*\***Esi Edugyan**, a two-time Giller Prize winner and Booker Prize finalist, grounds her historical novels in exhaustive archival research, excavating the lives of Black figures navigating 19th-century Europe and America with a historian's rigor and a novelist's grace. **Together, they'll explore the practical and ethical questions at the heart of their work:** How do you responsibly imagine the inner lives of people who left few records? When does historical accuracy serve the story, and when does it constrain it? What can historians learn from novelists about making readers care, and what can novelists learn from historians about accountability to the past? **Edugyan and Miles will discuss how we recover, reckon with, and retell the stories that shaped us, with host Nahlah Ayed.** FREE ticket link here: https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMEVT580729&R=EVT580729

At this signature event, we spotlight real stories from founders who’ve navigated the ups, downs, and in-betweens of building in Toronto’s fast-moving tech scene.

Whether you're starting your first venture, scaling a team, or simply curious about how Canadian leading companies are built, this event is for you. This event is about more than just listening, it’s about connecting. You’ll be in a room full of founders, investors, operators, and future collaborators who believe in the power of community.

In this presentation, I argue that when probability claims are used in decision contexts involving persons, they often undergo *a systematic shift* in how they are interpreted — from reports of population frequencies to ascriptions of individual or kind-level dispositions. This shift offers a more general explanation than existing accounts provide for why the use of accurate statistical information can nonetheless wrong or demean people in ways amounting to discrimination. Steven Coyne https://philosophy.utoronto.ca/directory/steven-coyne/ Assistant Professor Department of Philosophy University of Toronto **About the Speaker:** Steven Coyne, who is cross-appointed with the Department of Computer Science, teaches courses in moral and political philosophy, as well as the philosophy of law. He also prepares and delivers ethics modules in computer science classes for the Embedded Ethics Education Initiative in collaboration with instructors from the Department of Computer Science. His research is in moral and political philosophy, with a particular eye on issues connecting to reasons and rationality. His main projects concern how people can affect the reasons of other people, particularly through their speech acts, and particularly in political contexts. Can the state give new reasons to its subjects by commanding them? In order to properly obey the law, do people need to exclude some of their existing reasons for action? Do members of liberal democracies have any moral powers over one another? He is also interested in the reason-giving force of civil disobedience, the powers possessed by persistent minorities under majority rule, and the legitimacy of embedded ethics in higher education. He is also working on some projects in the ethics of technology concerning autonomy and bias and discrimination in algorithmic decision-making. **\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*** This is a talk with audience Q&A presented by the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics that is free to attend and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided at the event. The talk will also be streamed online with live chat [here](https://youtube.com/live/p3UzLadcpXk?feature=share). About the Centre for Ethics (http://ethics.utoronto.ca): The Centre for Ethics is an interdisciplinary centre aimed at advancing research and teaching in the field of ethics, broadly defined. The Centre seeks to bring together the theoretical and practical knowledge of diverse scholars, students, public servants and social leaders in order to increase understanding of the ethical dimensions of individual, social, and political life. In pursuit of its interdisciplinary mission, the Centre fosters lines of inquiry such as (1) foundations of ethics, which encompasses the history of ethics and core concepts in the philosophical study of ethics; (2) ethics in action, which relates theory to practice in key domains of social life, including bioethics, business ethics, and ethics in the public sphere; and (3) ethics in translation, which draws upon the rich multiculturalism of the City of Toronto and addresses the ethics of multicultural societies, ethical discourse across religious and cultural boundaries, and the ethics of international society. The Ethics of A.I. Lab at the Centre For Ethics recently appeared on a list of 10 organizations leading the way in ethical A.I.: https://ocean.sagepub.com/blog/10-organizations-leading-the-way-in-ethical-ai

Happy New Year Colleagues, The next Columbus Futurists public forum will be **Thursday January 15 at 12:00 pm noon** (eastern) [https://osu.zoom.us/j/93451873651?pwd=RXIyZ2t5RjRqRG02UGQ1aEFVQ1NFZz09](https://osu.zoom.us/j/93451873651?pwd=RXIyZ2t5RjRqRG02UGQ1aEFVQ1NFZz09) Please come prepared to offer your **"What if?" questions for 2026**. (I will offer seven to begin our conversation.) I also would like to announce the publication of my latest book: *[Anticipatory Biographies: Personal Histories of the Future](https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-08912-0)*, the tenth volume in the “Anticipation Science” series. Grounded in design fiction, futures research, anticipation science, and scenario writing, *Anticipatory Biographies* envisions how the world will be reshaped by artificial intelligence, technological automation, climate change, political disintegration, and the decline of higher education. This work of creative non-fiction bridges literary and scholarly forms, blending biography and design fiction with research-based insights to offer a narrative-based method for exploring futures. Ed Finn, Director of the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University says: “In this book **David Staley has invented a delightful new genre: the future biography.** He invites us to step into gritty, thrilling, and inspiring futures elbow-to-elbow with the characters living those stories. *Anticipatory Biographies* beautifully synthesizes Staley’s training as a historian, his expertise as a futurist, and his desire to ignite the imagination of his readers.” Hope you'll be able to read it, and hope to see you all on the 15th.
