UCalgary Research Team Partners with Calgary-Based Organizations to Re-frame Youth-Centered Programs Using an Anti-Racism Lens.

“What are the experiences that new youth immigrants face when they come to Canada and what support do they need? UCalgary researcher, Dr. Pallavi Banerjee, associate professor, sociology, PhD, will answer these questions thanks to over $1M in funding from the Government of Canada - Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to develop a community-engaged framework that will take place over the next two years. Dr. Banerjee, along with her research team, will partner with four Calgary-based service providing organizations (SPO) – the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society, Centre for Newcomers, The Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth and Calgary Immigrant Women's Association – and work with BIPOC youths to gain a better understanding of how immigrant and refugee serving organizations can better support youths in their integration journey.”
