We are a small community, spread over a large country. To network with fellow women economists, contact us and let us know if you have news to share, pictures to post, or new research that you would like us to feature on the website.
The Canadian Women Economists Network/Réseau de Femmes Économistes was founded in 1990 as an independent association of persons interested in promoting women economists and their ideas. Over the past two decades, CWEN has been instrumental in promoting women's involvement with and within the wider Canadian economics community.
