Souhail Boutmira

Proud recipient of the prestigious Canada Excellence Research Chair Doctoral Fellowship. I am in the Immigration, Settlement, and Diaspora Policies stream. My research interest focusses on migrants’ wellbeing and policies. In particular, I analyze the politics behind welfare states' responses to recent migration flows to address social justice issues emerging out of globalization processes. My most recent contributions include research on older adults' experiences with language barriers and risk factors contributing to elder abuse in the context of migration and (re)settlement in Canada. My professional expertise in settlement strategies strengthens my ability to associate theories and practices to engage with current challenges of policy makings.
