The Forum brings together the various constituencies of the WCFIA to learn about our respective work and foster the Center's intellectual community. In addition, we hope to tease out the debates and robust discussions happening within our respective groups, and invite the WCFIA community to engage with the research and ongoing conversations. It is only open to WCFIA affiliates.
