Conferences
2nd Queen’s WECAN Conference (Queen’s Women Economists in Canada Conference)
Dear Colleagues:
We are excited to let you know that the Queen’s Economics Department (QED) and the John Deutsch Institute for the Study of Economic Policy (JDI) are hosting the 2nd Queen’s WECAN Conference (Queen’s Women Economists in Canada Conference). The one-day conference aims to celebrate and highlight the research contributions of women economists across Canada. We would like to invite you to this year’s conference at the Delta Hotel in Kingston, Ontario on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
We believe this intimate, annual conference format will complement the important goals and efforts of the Canadian Women Economists Committee (CWEC) by providing an additional valuable platform for engagement and recognition.
Each year, the Queen’s WECAN Conference will spotlight a different field in economics, with the second year focusing on Labour Economics, Education, and related fields. Our speakers this year feature five economists from Canadian universities: Serena Canaan (Simon Fraser University), Elizabeth Caucutt (Western University), Sonia Laszlo (McGill University), Clementine Van Effenterre (University of Toronto), and Angela Zheng (McMaster University). The conference website with the preliminary program and details can be found here.
The conference will wrap up with a reception and dinner, to which you are cordially invited. There is no fee for registration or for the lunch, reception, or dinner. The program is designed to allow an efficient day trip, and we have reserved a number of rooms at the Delta Kingston Waterfront Hotel at a special rate for those of you who prefer to stay overnight. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with travel or accommodation costs. A link for booking accommodations at the Delta Hotel is available on the conference website. The registration link will be available on the website soon, with a deadline of April 17th.
This year's QED Frontiers of Macroeconomics Workshop is scheduled for May 8th, also at the Delta Hotel. We encourage attendees to stay for both conferences. The Frontiers of Macroeconomics workshop will feature talks from Cristina Arellano (Minneapolis Fed), Rui Castro (Montreal), Fatih Guvenen (Toronto), Natalia Kovrijnykh (ASU), and Ben Lester (Philadelphia Fed). Past conference programs can be found here.
We sincerely hope you will join us to hear some excellent speakers, discuss research, and meet colleagues this May. Please feel free to forward this email to colleagues. We look forward to an enjoyable day and to seeing you in Kingston.
Regards,
Beverly Lapham, Amy Hongfei Sun, Ming Xu, Karen Ye
