8th Annual Trudeau Conference on Public Policy 2011 "The Making of Citizens: Beyond the Canadian Consensus on Immigration"

The 2011 Trudeau Conference on Public Policy will  will start on Thursday, on November 17, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and will end on November 19. The conference is designed to revisit the orthodoxy of a national consensus on immigration. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on crucial aspects of immigration and citizenship, dissect comfortable assumptions and alternative perspectives, and question policy narratives that have become all but clichés.

The Political and Economics Society is pleased to announce that this year we have six society member participating in this conference. The society members are looking forward to this opportunity and will be blogging about their experiences all weekend.  


Check in daily to see students from the Politics and Economics Society blog about the conference and panel discussions.
