Online seminar: The promise of community sponsorship: a study of Syrian refugees in Canada

The Faculty of Sociology of the University of Warsaw and the COPOCS project are pleased sent you the invitation to the online seminar "The promise of community sponsorship: a study of Syrian refugees in Canada".

During the event, Prof. Michaela Hynie, from York University will present her talk “The promise of community sponsorship: Lessons, limits and questions from a longitudinal study of resettled Syrian refugees in Canada”, followed by a discussion. In her presentation, she will focus on Syrian refugees by presenting the longitudinal studies on the resettlement of this group based on community sponsorship programmes. Although she will explain the Canadian experiences, we believe it will also be valuable for scholars from other countries.

 
The event will be held on March 10th from 3 to 4 p.m. CET with the required registration: http://bitly.pl/0mqQ3.
