Greg Hunter

IMG_0508_400Greg Hunter is an example of a man on a mission, applying scientific ways of thinking to the world around him. Science as he sees it is a rigorous process of discovering truth around us. He is the science teacher you would have loved to have had, and many students in Alberta have had a chance to see science in a new way because of the 30 years he spent focusing on Science and Outdoor Education in Alberta.

He is interested in the Philosophy of Science, History and Literature. He believes any narrative must withstand the challenges of doubt and investigation and that we can not just receive our opinions on the front step each morning or in the evening news — but rather must actively form them. A firm believer that we must begin with the belief that all ideas are built on potentially fallible assumptions, logic, observations and perspective. Only relying on internal consistency could lead to some inaccurate ways of looking at the world.

What is TEDxCalgary?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxCalgary, where x=independently organized TED event. At our events, TEDTalks video and live speakers combined to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

If you'd like to learn more, visit our [ contact page ] to send us an e-mail.

This event is not being organized by the TED conferences — this is an independently organized TED event.

This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.
