Grieving Immigrants: Toward a Critical Conception of Loss and Grief

SSHRC IDG awarded 2023: Two years ago our team undertook a small “side” project exploring the experience of grief among the IranianCanadian community in Edmonton in the aftermath of the Ukrainian Flight 752 tragedy that took the life of 176 passengers, and affected the Edmonton community disproportionately. Many participants in the project felt a deep sense of identification with the victims to the point of vividly imagining being on the airplane, being hit by missiles and dying. They reported significant mental health impacts from this mediated experience of death. They also reported significant changes in their sense of ethnonational identity. We propose to undertake a study of four distinct recent immigrant groups that have experienced significant war and violence firsthand or vicariously 'back home': people of Iranian, Ukrainian, Syrian, and Afghan origins.
