LUNDI 21 JUIN 2021 — 14 h à 15 h 30 (HE)

Un webinaire organisé par l’Équipe de recherche sur l’immigration au Québec et ailleurs (ÉRIQA) et le Centre de recherches interdisciplinaires en études montréalaises (CRIEM) de l’Université McGill.

Description de l’événement :
The nature of socio-cultural diversity in Canada’s largest cities is explored in a new website, which has a special section devoted to Montréal. The site is based on Steven Vertovec’s concept of superdiversity – which emphasizes the role of increasingly complex migration trajectories, the intersectionality of diversity, and the layering of new forms of diversity over older ones – producing social landscapes of profound social complexity. The website has been built using a combination of detailed migration and immigration landing records together with special tabulations of census data, and consists of a set of interactive visualizations that enable viewers to ‘see’ diversity at the metropolitan, neighbourhood, and individual scales. It can also be used to explore various forms of inequality in urban society. The website has been designed for the purposes of research and public education and, hopefully, provides an innovative approach to Montréal’s social geography.

Une présentation de Daniel Hiebert, Professeur à l’Université de Colombie-Britannique : Daniel Hiebert is a Professor of Geography at UBC who specializes in issues of public policy. Professor Hiebert’s research interests focus on immigration policy, the integration of newcomers into the housing and labour markets of Canadian cities, and the consequences of the growing ‘super-diversity’ of Canadian society. He has participated in a number of public advisory roles, and served as a Co-Chair of the City of Vancouver Mayor’s Working Group on Immigration. He is currently a member of the Deputy Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada’s Advisory Council.
