Beyond Resettlement Conference

Carleton University
Ottawa, Ontario

Format: In-person with online streaming option

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the expulsion of Asians from Uganda the conference Beyond Resettlement: Exploring the History of the Ugandan Asian Community in Exile will explore the historical context of the expulsion, Canada’s response and reception, the larger diaspora of Ugandan Asian refugees, and the lived experiences of the community over the past 50 years. The conference aims yield several lessons on pathways to integration, memory, and identity.

The conference will take place at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario in November 2022 and will include an online streaming option for presentations. The conference will also feature a series of workshops including a global cafe on intergenerational identities and belonging in Canada, screenings of documentaries on Ugandan Asian refugees, and a literary panel with refugee novelists.
