Nonprofits and the Social Economy: From Far and Wide
Tenth Annual Conference & Celebration
Ryerson University, Toronto, ON
The Association for Nonprofit and Social Economy Research (ANSER) is a dynamic growing association that is organizing its tenth annual conference as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. ANSER brings together leading academic researchers, practitioners, consultants, policymakers and community organizations from Canada and internationally to discuss current and emergent issues, debates and challenges in the fields of civil society, social economy, and nonprofit research and practice. Join ANSER for what promises to be an engaging and provocative conference. The theme for the tenth conference at Ryerson University is: Nonprofits and the Social Economy: From Far and Wide.
The conference is an opportunity to welcome and explore the power of ideas to connect people and communities, encourage discussions and debates and to create knowledge and change. Within this context, nonprofits and other social economy organizations are well poised to lead these discussions.
