Visa Barrier stakeholder invitation
by Viviana Fernandez 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Dear colleagues, I am writing to inform you of an initiative called the Visa Barrier project, led by Professor Meredith Terretta, a member of our Centre and former Gordon F. Henderson Chair in Human Rights. The project was created because it is becoming more and more evident that a high rate of IRCC refusal of temporary residence and study permits to visa-required researchers threatens to undermine Canada's research achievements on the world stage. That African<https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canada-s-temporary-visa-approval-rate…> researchers seem to be disproportionately affected by this visa barrier is even more troubling. The mobility of researchers is an important facet of knowledge mobilization, and the exclusion of African researchers from international forums like the International AIDS Society conference in Montreal exacerbates North-South asymmetries in global knowledge flows. The Visa Barrier<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvisabarri…> project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, studies how African researchers experience visa application processes by collecting anonymized data from visa-required African researchers and scholars invited to Canada. Over time, this data will reveal an approximate profile of those researchers to whom Canada denies right of entry, thus highlighting patterns related to income, gender, marital status, country of origin, race, Visa Application Centre, and so on. It will also highlight discrepancies in the items of "proof" that IRCC requires of applicants from country to country as well as the varying length of time it takes to process applications. These data will be used to inform the Canadian government and Canadian universities of challenges that visa-required African researchers face, providing an evidence-based argument for developing equitable immigration policies and university internationalization strategies to surmount the visa barrier. As you can see, the success of the Visa Barrier project depends on widespread involvement of stakeholders who regularly invite visa-required scholars and researchers to Canada. For this reason, we thought that this would be of interest to the CAHRI community. Interested people can become stakeholders by following this link<https://visabarrier.ca/public/pages/get-engaged.php> to enroll in the project. It takes about a minute for stakeholders to register to use the web application, after which they can regularly invite visa-required researchers by providing them with a unique, secure link to a one-time access survey of their visa application experience. The anonymized data* are sorted by category, allowing the research team to produce aggregate tables over time. For questions about the project, you can also reach Meredith Terretta, Principal Investigator visabarrier.ca [signature_3536106733] Thank you in advance for your cooperation and help in sharing this with others. Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A.

Genocide Studies International Special Issue | Call for Papers
by Pauline Tennent 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

For more information, see: https://www.utpjournals.press/journals/gsi/call-for-papers-special-issue-er… Genocide Studies International CALLS FOR PAPERS Special Issue: The Erasure and Revitalization of Indigenous Cultures and Languages The destruction of Indigenous languages, or linguicide, has had and continues to have catastrophic effects on Indigenous cultures, identities, knowledges, and the overall well-being of Indigenous peoples and communities. While there has been growing international commitment to raising awareness about and protecting Indigenous languages in recent years, research and publication on this subject remains limited. With this in mind, Genocide Studies International wishes to dedicate a special issue to the topic of Indigenous language erasure and revitalization with the objective of raising awareness around this issue from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. The editors seek submissions from scholars across disciplines that contextualize Indigenous language erasure as it relates to human rights, conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization. Manuscripts that explore gaps, challenges, and opportunities for action in protecting and revitalizing Indigenous languages are also welcomed. This special issue aims to bring together a collection of papers that capture a broad cross-section of concepts, experiences, stories, and issues pertaining to the theme so as to inform policy, action, and best practices on Indigenous language protection and revitalization across scales, and geographical and disciplinary boundaries. Paper submission deadlines (early submissions encouraged): September 1, 2023 Read More<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> General Call for Papers Genocide Studies International invites submissions of manuscripts focused on themes of genocide, human rights, crimes against humanity, and related mass atrocities. This peer-reviewed journal is dedicated to raising knowledge and awareness around these issues by providing a forum for the publication of original papers that take interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to critically analyze genocide and other forms of mass violence. Due to the constantly evolving and complex nature of genocide and related crimes, Genocide Studies International seeks manuscripts from across disciplines that contextualize these issues in relation to conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization. Manuscripts that explore challenges and prospects for the long-term prevention of genocide, as well as those that focus on global and regional threats to human security, especially as they relate to genocide, are also welcome.

Genocide and other forms of mass violence are constantly evolving, and we encourage scholarly submissions that address their continually changing nature. This includes interdisciplinary and comparative work on the history, causes, impact, and aftermath of genocide and related crimes, as well as those which contextualize genocide in relation to conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization. We also welcome submissions that explore the challenges and prospects for the long-term prevention of genocide, as well as those that focus on global and regional threats to human security, especially as they relate to genocide. Consequently, this peer-reviewed journal publishes articles from various disciplines including, but not limited to, history, political science, sociology, psychology, international law, criminal justice, critical race studies, religion, philosophy, literature, anthropology, forensic sciences, art history, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies. ‌ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> ‌ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> ‌ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> https://utpjournals.press/journals/gsi/call-for-papers-special-issue-erasur… Ekosani /Miigwech / Thank You, Lorena Sekwan Fontaine BA, LLB, LLM, PhD Associate Professor Human Rights Co-Director Indigenous Languages Global College University of Winnipeg 515 Portage Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3B 2E9 Email: l.fontaine(a)uwinnipeg.ca<mailto:l.fontaine@uwinnipeg.ca> Phone: 204.789.1428 Pronouns: she, her

[cid:image003.png@01D958DE.4318C0E0]On Wednesday, April 5th at 12noon CDT, join the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba and the Canadian Centre for Housing Rights (CCHR) for a virtual webinar to learn about CCHR’s new discrimination audit report and engage with local advocates, community workers, and researchers in a discussion about housing discrimination in Winnipeg. About CCHR’s discrimination audit report: The Canadian Centre Housing Rights (CCHR) recently published a discrimination audit report called “Sorry, it’s rented.” Measuring Discrimination Against Newcomers in Toronto’s Rental Housing Market. The report examines the level of discrimination faced by newcomers in Toronto’s rental market, and how race, gender and parental status increases the likelihood of discrimination when searching for rental housing. The discrimination audit found that newcomers in Toronto face up to 11 times as much discrimination as non-newcomers when searching to secure rental housing. It also found that racialized newcomers experienced more discrimination compared to non-racialized newcomers when calling to inquire about a rental listing, and that certain family statuses compounded the experience of discrimination.
