37th J.W. Dafoe Political Studies Students’ Conference: The Legacy of 911 and the Defence of North America - Economic Implications of 9/11

University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB

What immediate changes did the attacks of September 11, 2001 have upon Canada-U.S. economic relations?

In a post-9/11 world, do long-term impacts of this event remain evident in one of the world’s most significant and integrated bilateral economic partnerships?

These questions will be examined in the second panel event of the 2021 J.W. Dafoe Political Studies Students’ Conference. Open and free to the public, this event brings together a diverse group of academics and practitioners to provide a wide-range of perspectives and expertise in economic topics as they pertain to 9/11.

The program schedule and panelist biographies are outlined below. Each panelist is given ten minutes to speak on the economic implications of 9/11, and will be followed by a Q & A from the audience. Please note that the program is tentative and subject to change. Event organizers will notify of any changes made prior to the event date.
