The goal for Subnode 2 of the Social Economy and Sustainability Research Network is to contribute to the theory and practice of the social economy in the Atlantic region. This is done by bringing partners and academics together to do research and to produce a range of outcomes and knowledge dissemination activities, with particular focus on the theme: inclusion and empowerment of marginalized people in the social economy of Atlantic Canada.
