Vince Beiser
Join us for an evening of conversation, ideas, and networking with Canada’s public policy community.
This year’s IRPP fall lecture will feature award-winning journalist and author Vince Beiser. His latest book, Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future explores the critical minerals needed for digital technology and renewable energy—and the environmental and political challenges spawned by the global race to secure them. Reporting from more than 50 countries worldwide, Beiser has written for numerous leading outlets, including the Guardian, Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.
The lecture will be followed by a lively cocktail reception bringing together parliamentarians, members of the public service, academics, students, and leaders from the non-profit and private sectors.
All funds raised will support a junior research associateship at the IRPP, as we cultivate the next generation of public policy thinkers. Junior researchers receive invaluable hands-on experience and mentorship in the production of rigorous, in-depth research on Canada’s toughest policy challenges.
