Marie-Jeanne Blain, chercheure au Centre de Recherche InterActions (CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal), professeure associée au département d’anthropologie (Université de Montréal).

Au sein des équipes dans lesquelles elle s’est engagée, elle privilégie des recherches-actions qui permettent la prise en compte des différents savoirs et perspectives et qui favorisent la mobilisation des connaissances.

Policy Seminar Series: Session 1 - The Labour Market: What’s going on? What role for public policy?
Cost: Free
Registration: https://munkschool-utoronto-ca.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DRtiFAhBSUqfLi_70_6c7A
Description
“This is the first online policy seminar in the series, Challenges and Opportunities for Social Policy in the Coming Decade. The policy seminars will be organized in part by policy sector, focusing on the tools available in different sectors; however, each panel will consider how policies interconnect, and how vulnerable groups intersect to create concentrations of advantage and disadvantage.
For many years, policy makers and researchers in Canada and other OECD countries have been focused on the future of work and skills, particularly the impact of new technologies on the skills composition of jobs, prospects for different occupations and the nature of work. At the same time, the covid pandemic has had lasting impacts on the labour market, for example many workers are seeking more flexible work arrangements while others are looking to early retirement, resulting in significant labour shortages. Energy transitions and an aging workforce are also adding new dynamics. How significant are these trends? Are they significantly altering labour market supply and demand, skills composition, and the workplace? What have we learned about recent policy responses, in Canada and peer countries?
The next seminar in this series, Session 2 - Income Protection is taking place on Friday, November 4, 2022 - 12:00pm – 1:30pm ET.”

In 2018-2019, the Government of New Brunswick Department of Health, Health Workforce Planning Branch embarked on the development of a new nursing resource strategy. This work involved all stakeholders, including various government departments, regulatory associations, educators, and employers. As the development of the strategy began to emerge, those around the table focused on four key areas on which to focus - one of which was the matter of internationally educated health professionals, nurses in particular, and the challenges they faced when attempting to gain licensure for practice, connect with employers, and settle in to their new communities. The current New Brunswick model, the IEN Navigation Unit, is a result of those discussions.
Presenter:
Robb Parker (BA, Bed, MEd). IEN Navigation Service Lead, Province of New Brunswick, Department of Health.

"A multi-media exhibition of undocumented South Asian migrant men sharing images and stories of their lived reality as migrant workers in Greece
Join CERC Migration for the exhibit This is Evidence, curated by Reena Kukreja, Department of Global Development Studies, Queen’s University.
This exhibition puts together South Asian migrant men’s voices and testimonies, visual and oral, that they consider important to share with the larger world. All images and videos were taken either by the research collaborator, Reena Kukreja, at the behest of the men who pointed out what needed to be documented, or by the men themselves who would often take her camera or cell phone to click photos.
By centring migrant subjectivities, this photovoice-based multi-media exhibition gives voice and power back to the migrant workers by allowing them a medium to present themselves unmediated and directly to diverse sets of audiences. The migrant men, by showing their reality as workers, seek to draw attention to the similarity of migrant labour precarity and exploitation globally. For them, this project is a political act of resistance. They recognize all other avenues to get their viewpoint across to policy makers and ordinary people are closed to them. Through photovoice, they seek to give voice and power back to all migrant workers and thus disrupt dominant narratives of othering because of their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, migrant illegality, and low-class status."

Immigration Politics, Refugee Crises, and Ethnic Dynamics in a Changing World Order: Canada and Beyond”
"As we are nearing the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, there are a number of major developments on the global scene that call for a continued scrutiny but also a nuanced vision on ethnic dynamics and immigration issues.
First, the issues of immigration policy, border security, rising ethnic tensions, new and ongoing regional and national political conflicts, multiple displacements and escalating refugee crises dominate the news in many different countries – from the United States, Canada, and Mexico in North America, to the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Ukraine in Europe, and to China, Australia, Myanmar, and New Zealand in East Asia and Oceania. This dominance has been so pronounced that the immigration/ethnic issues are frequently ranked among the topmost concerns in various nations, and the positions about those issues often determine the political directions and election results in different countries.
Second, there has been a global rise of a new right-wing populist wave, with direct implications for issues such as the meaning and possibility of citizenship, identity / sense of belonging, freedom, human rights, and justice. This is happening alongside a new wave of refugees surfacing as a result of an increased number of regional conflicts and proxy wars over geopolitical and economic interests, environmental disasters, and so on.
Third, despite the conservative and exclusionary politics in various western countries, citizens’ groups and solidarity movements have emerged or strengthened existing voices that support inclusion and integration of migrants and refugees."
