7:00 AM to 8:00 PM

Drop in to the Philosophers' Cafe in Nanaimo, a friendly forum for reflection on deep questions and topical issues. Each café offers a speaker who delivers a ten minute talk on a provocative subject – and then the floor opens for 50 minutes of general discussion. You can join the conversation, or just sit back and listen. Have dinner. Bring a friend. By donation. No registration. Everyone welcome!


Family (Fathers and Families): Not so long ago, a father’s job was to bring home a pay cheque, fix things, and discipline the kids. Families have changed, however, and parenting roles are not as clear as they once were.  How has fatherhood shifted in recent generations?  What roles do fathers play in families? In society? What do you think of when you think of “father”?


Natalie Luchtmeyer is completing her Master’s degree in Child & Youth Care and is a counselor in Nanaimo.  Her research is based on the Social Construction of Fathers with a specific focus on gendered masculinity and the evolution of fathers in our culture.
