ANSER-ARES CALL FOR CONFERENCE PROPOSALS! 

 

 

 

 ANSER/ARES is a dynamic growing association that is organizing its fourteenth annual conference as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. ANSER brings together leading academic researchers, students, practitioner, 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 us for what promises to be an engaging and provocative conference. The theme for the fourteenth conference convened virtually is Northern Relations.
