• SSHRC Awarded "Targeted Research: Syrian Refugee Arrival, Resettlement and Integration" 2016: This project will document the settlement experiences of recent Syrian refugees to Albertan cities, comparing across the three streams of sponsorship; namely, government assisted refugees, privately-sponsored refugees, and the blended refugee program in which private sponsors support refugees that are identified and matched by the UN refugee agency to better understand the perspectives of the refugees, the sponsors, and the social agencies that work with them. The goal is to build a systematic knowledge, which will inform the ongoing practice of settlement agencies as well as government policy directions in the future.
