Join the Department of Economics, University of Toronto for Shockwaves in Global Trade: UofT Faculty on US Tariffs and Canada’s Future.
This open conversation between economists and a political scientist from the University of Toronto will address the realities of US tariffs on world markets and global trade.
“This is such a global shock that, as UofT faculty, we need to take a role in discussing these events from our research specialties to increase public knowledge,” said event organizer Professor Jordi Mondria. “Topics of international trade and trade agreements are always our focus, these faculty members are always pushing the knowledge frontier, but we need to share these findings now.”
