Front cover of “Forced Migration in/to Canada : From Colonization to Refugee Resettlement”
We are excited to share the launch of Forced Migration in/to Canada: From Colonization to Refugee Resettlement, edited by Christina R. Clark-Kazak from the University of Ottawa. Hosted by Carleton University’s Migration and Diaspora Studies program and the Local Engagement Refugee Research Network (LERRN), this event provides a platform to explore critical new perspectives on forced migration in Canada. This discussion will take place on October 28, 2024 at 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM at 2420R Richcraft Hall, Carleton University.
The book examines Canada’s history as a settler state shaped by forced migration and addresses contemporary issues like refugee resettlement, trafficking, and environmental displacement. Contributors, including Amrita Hari, Director of the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation, offer insights into migration policies and lived experiences through diverse disciplinary lenses, with a special focus on intersecting identities such as disability, race, gender, and social class.
Attendees will have the chance to participate in discussions with the editor and contributors and enjoy light refreshments. This comprehensive resource is essential for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding Canada’s role in global migration trends. Event discussions will feature Christina R. Clark-Kazak, Amrita Hari, and other notable contributors, with Laura Madokoro serving as discussant.
Registration for this event is limited to 25 attendees. To learn more about the event, please visit: www.carleton.ca/mds/cu-events/book-launch-forced-migration-in-to-canada-from-colonization-to-refugee-resettlement
