Decolonization, youth identities and settlement; and COVID-19, entrepreneurship and highly skilled migrants
The Migration Working Group is a series of monthly sessions to discuss innovative research being done on migration and integration by emerging and established scholars. The series gives researchers an opportunity to present their ongoing projects, learn about each other’s work and share feedback.
The May Migration Working Group addresses the themes of decolonization, youth identities and settlement; and COVID-19, entrepreneurship and highly skilled migrants. Discussions will be moderated by John Carlaw, Research Fellow, CERC Migration, Ryerson University.
