As Confederation turned 150, the Connected 150 conference brought together over two days leading experts in Internet culture and citizenship in the digital context, including academics, government officials, policy-makers, members of think tanks, members of the private sector, and civil society groups.
The conference helped draft a鈥public research agenda鈥痜or digital citizenship鈥痶hat set the foundation for strong institutions and good policy.
The conversation and findings were later expanded on in Citizenship in a Connected Canada: A Research and Policy Agenda (UOP, 2020), an interdisciplinary edited collection bringing together scholars, activists, and policy makers to build consensus around what a connected society means for Canada. The collection offers insight on the state of citizenship in a digital context in Canada and proposes a research and policy agenda for the way forward. The chapters also summarize and synthesize existing work for a Canadian policy audience.
