Description
In this special anniversary session, we invite four long-term members of the Canadian Population Society who have made significant contributions to the development of demographic research/ population studies in Canada over the past 50 years. Some of the speakers were involved in the initial conversations of the creation of the CPS in 1974. Each speaker will reflect upon their contributions to the CPS and Canadian demography/population studies and share their anecdotes related to the CPS. They will also discuss their engagement in other Canadian and international research initiatives and partnerships that are linked to the CPS. In closing, the speakers will convey their words of wisdom for emerging scholars, including students and postdoctoral fellows, who will carry the torch of the CPS in the next 50 years. This special session aims to help junior and mid-career demographers learn about the history of the CPS and think how their research and services can contribute to the continuing success of the CPS and Canadian demography research in the next 50 years. Speakers: Roderic Beaujot, Western University; Monica Boyd, University of Toronto; Céline Le Bourdais, McGill University; Alan Simmons, York University
