We are honoured to welcome Michael Adams, President and Founder of Environics Institute for Survey Research, to deliver a special lecture at Trent University. He is known for shaping national conversations through his influential work on social values, demographic change, generational attitudes, and how Canadians understand identity, politics, and social cohesion in a rapidly changing world.

Adams is the author of Fire and Ice, Unlikely Utopia: The Surprising Triumph of Canadian Pluralism and Could It Happen Here? Canada in the Age of Trump and Brexit.

This event is free, and everyone is welcome.
