Canadian Academy of Independent Scholars
The Canadian Academy of Independent Scholars is a former association of independent scholars in Canada.[1] One of the largest organizations for independent scholars in the world, it is patroned by John Ralston Saul.[2][3][4] The academy was founded at Simon Fraser University, where it grew out of a series of informal discussions among academics known as the Philosophers' Café that began in the late 1990s.[5] The organization became inactive in 2020 following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.
