Join CERC Migration for the second installment of our fall 2021 meetings exploring innovative migration research. The October Migration Working Group addresses the theme, immigration policies and the labour market experiences of foreign-born workers.

The Migration Working Group meets monthly to discuss the migration research of emerging and established scholars. Our meetings give researchers an opportunity to present their ongoing projects, learn about each other's work and share feedback.

The discussion will be moderated by Rupa Banerjee, Canada Research Chair in Economic Inclusion, Employment and Entrepreneurship of Canada’s Immigrants and Associate Professor of Human Resource Management and Organizational Behaviour.
