Forum was one of the best conferences I've ever been to due to the strength of the scholarship presented, insightful and valuable guest speakers & keynote addresses, opportunities to network and connect with other scholars and practitioners, and the really unique opportunities to see Regina through the Global Social, WWC student/post-doc event, and the RCMP Heritage Center event.
