I’m looking to attend or participate in occasional seminars and workshops (mainly in-person but also online, but I'm looking for some in-person opportunities atm)

  • that pertain to impactful topics (global health, animal welfare, GCRs etc)
  • or that are useful for keeping up with methods

… in economics and quantitative social science in the Boston or Amherst area. 

Anyone else interested in sharing information? Any ideas for how to find this information or curate it? Most of the departments make their schedule of speakers public, but few actually show the topics being presented.

Someone reminded me about NE&EP Normative Economics and Economic Policy.  This is a good and useful seminar series, and helpfully, they do post their topics. 
It tends to be more focused on economic theory, but not exclusively so. 

That said, I'm mainly looking for in-person opportunities atm, in part to help build and maintain ties and contacts, in part to have something that I actually do in 'meat space'.   

But I generally am very supportive of online or hybrid presentations and conferences.  And if we were to make a curated list, we should include both.
