DESCRIPTION:Join MISC at 4:00 pm on Wednesday\, October 30th at the Faculty
  Club (3450 McTavish Street) for this years Mallory Lecture\, The Limits o
 f Canadian Tolerance? Out-of-status migrants\, public opinion\, and the fu
 ture of immigration policy\, by Professor Irene Bloemraad.\n\nIn North Ame
 rica\, Canadians regularly view undocumented migration as a US-Mexico chal
 lenge\, not a policy issue of relevance to Canada. It is certainly the cas
 e that the United States has a significant population of out-of-status imm
 igrants and that undocumented migration is central to US politics. But Can
 adians need to consider their own views and policy stances toward out-of-s
 tatus residents living in the country. Do Canadians’ much vaunted toleranc
 e for immigration extend to those without papers? This talk considers the 
 implications of current policy and politics on the issue of undocumented m
 igration in Canada and provides survey findings on Canadians willingness t
 o help precarious migrants facing hardship. Public opinion data suggests t
 hat excluding out-of-status migrants from rights protections or assistance
  is seen as legitimate by the public. Irene will conclude by considering w
 hat this means for those who support migrants\, for Canadian policy\, and 
 for Canada-US relations.\n\nIrene Bloemraad holds the President's Excellen
 ce Chair in Global Migration at the University of British Columbia and is 
 a professor of Political Science and Sociology. She studies how migrants b
 ecome incorporated into the political communities where they live\, and th
 e consequences of migration for politics and national membership. Her rese
 arch has been published in over 100 articles spanning sociology\, politica
 l science\, history\, and ethnic/ migration studies\; she has authored or 
 co-edited five books on citizenship\, immigrant protest\, and civic organi
 zations. An award-winning researcher and teacher\, Bloemraad regularly sha
 res her work with policymakers\, immigration stakeholders\, and the genera
 l public. Prior to her appointment at UBC in July 2024\, Bloemraad spent t
 wo decades at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she ultimate
 ly held the Class of 1951 Chair in Sociology\, the Thomas Barnes Chair in 
 Canadian Studies\, and founded the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration In
 itiative.\n\nThe lecture will be followed by a Q&A and reception. The Mall
 ory Lecture series is annually organized by the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Institute for the S
 tudy of Canada. Reserve your tickets via Eventbrite.\n
