DESCRIPTION:La Chaire Oppenheimer en droit public international accueille l
 a professeure Sonia Cancian pour une présentation sur les migrations et le
 ur histoire.\n\nUn lunch sera servi\; Nous demandons donc aux intéressés d
 e confirmer leur présence à: oppenheimer [at] mcgill [dot] ca\n\n[En angla
 is seulement] Life stories and the law are intrinsically connected. We wit
 ness this daily both on a micro- and macro-scale\, whether at a client’s m
 eeting with her/his lawyer\, in the courtroom\, in the creation of binding
  precedents\, in the diffusion of social and legal awareness\, and among c
 ountless other contexts\, in the introduction and implementation of polici
 es and laws. As we consider the recent immigration crisis culminating as I
  write\, what becomes especially evident is that the narratives of migrant
 s and refugees—much like their counter-narratives--shape\, and are shaped 
 by\, social and political awareness and the creation of policy and laws. W
 hat kinds of stories of refugees and migrants are we talking about here? H
 ow do they influence the individual and the broader communities\, and vice
  versa? In what ways do the stories give insight to the shaping of policie
 s and laws?  And\, how do policies influence the lives of migrants and ref
 ugees today and in the past? This seminar will lead a discussion on life s
 tories of migrants and refugees and their power (or not) within the world 
 of policy-making and the law.\n\nDr. Sonia Cancian is an associate profess
 or at Zayed University. She is a migration historian with a special intere
 st in letters and other personal narratives in the fields of gender studie
 s\, history of media\, history of emotions\, memory and the 19th and 20th 
 century history of Canada and Italy. \n
