My upcoming interview with Dina Graser

For my next interview (part of the Toronto Live Interviews series), I’ll be talking with Dina Graser. I always enjoy conversations with Dina, because she has done such very different things in her life, all with passion. Having changed careers myself once or twice, I’m fascinated by someone who does it as frequently and whole-heartedly as Dina has.

Here’s the info:

Wednesday November 3, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
Centre for Social Innovation, Room 120 (215 Spadina Ave)
Tickets are free, but please register as space is limited: http://guestlistapp.com/events/33717

How do people discover and rediscover their calling in life? November’s interviewee, Dina Graser, is someone who has redefined herself again and again: she has been a lawyer, community activist, political campaigner and arts producer. These days she’s in charge of community relations for Metrolinx, the GTA transit agency. The interview will explore what it means to make Toronto a better place, how to create new institutions and make them work, and what it means to follow your own path in life.

Dina will be interviewed by Jen Dodd. Jen is a physicist, designer of public science events including SciBarCamp and Perimeter Institute’s Quantum to Cosmos Festival, and is now managing director of Subtle Technologies, Toronto’s annual festival of art and science.

Location instructions: on arriving at 215 Spadina, go through the Dark Horse cafe to the lobby, go up the stairs to the left of the elevator, and room 120 is through the glass doors straight ahead.
