WCR 2026 is getting closer!!
This month, we begin our series of posts about the Western Canadian Conference 2026 speakers, featuring Phil Zuckerman and Dr. Christopher Labos.
Phil Zuckerman is a Professor of Sociology and Secular Studies at Pitzer College, California, where he founded the nation’s first Secular Studies department. A prominent voice on nonreligion and secularity, he is the author of numerous books, including Society Without God and What It Means to be Moral. His work has been published widely in academic journals and popular outlets like Psychology Today and The Huffington Post.
Dr. Christopher Labos is a Cardiologist with a Master’s degree in Epidemiology. He is a columnist with the Montreal Gazette and Medscape, has been featured on the Sunday Morning House Call on CJAD radio, and has a regular TV segment on CTV Montreal and CBC Morning Live. He is an Associate with the McGill Office of Science and Society and hosts the award-winning podcast “The Body of Evidence.” He is the author of “Does Coffee Cause Cancer?” published by ECW Press, a story about food epidemiology and why food headlines are usually wrong. He occasionally practices as a cardiologist so he can buy groceries. To date, no one has asked him for his autograph.
In the next two months, we will be telling you more about Seth Andrews, Gretta Vosper, Adrienne Hill, Janice Selbie, and Dr. Caroline Brookfield.
We hope you will have a chance to meet them in person at the Western Canadian Conference 2026.
