Please check regularly for updates. We look forward to seeing you in Montreal this year!
The Canadian Association for Studies in Co-operation (CASC) is a volunteer run, non-profit organization made up of researchers interested in co-operatives and practitioners who work in the co-operative sector. The focus of the association is local and international study of all aspects of co-operation and co-operative organizations.
The membership of the association includes leading scholars, researchers and practitioners within the co-op movement from Canada, Europe, and Australia. We strongly encourage the training of up and coming scholars, and the new generation of practitioners. Our efforts have resulted in a significant increase in the participation of junior scholars and researchers in co-operative studies.
The association meets annually along with the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities where national and international scholars have presented their research and case studies of co-operative corporations. CASC maintains this website and a listserv that publishes a newsletter informing members of on-going research and events in the co-op calendar.
