Perspectives, announcements, and sector developments from across the nonprofit and social economy community
Where Do Nonprofit and Social Economy Research Fit into Canada’s Undergraduate Classrooms?
Many post-secondary students in Canada’s colleges & universities have volunteered in the nonprofit sector and engaged in the social economy in some way. However, many do not realize either as topics for higher learning!
Join us for an engaging discussion with Dr. Melanie Bedore, who will share best practices & classroom techniques developed to help students think critically and appreciatively about the sector as a driver of social innovation, as a source of meaningful work, and a space to explore voluntarism, philanthropy, nonprofit capacity building, and philanthrocapitalism.

Community-driven content reflecting current conversations, experiences, and developments across Canada’s nonprofit and social economy sectors is shared here.
It features research highlights, policy discussions, member spotlights, conference reflections, and practical applications that translate ideas and experiences into accessible insights for researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and students, while remaining distinct from ANSER-ARES’ academic journal and formal conference materials.
ANSER-ARES welcomes contributions from members that support dialogue, share experience, and strengthen connections across the nonprofit and social economy community. Submissions may include short articles, reflections, spotlights, announcements, or applied case examples.
