The UBC Centre for Migration Studies (CMS), AMSSA (Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC), and UBC Connects are excited to host the 2024 CMS-Sector Research Collaborations Day, an annual event designed to bring together migration researchers and professionals in the immigration and settlement field.

The event is suitable for anyone interested in exploring migration research through a decolonial lens and building mutually beneficial connections between CMS researchers and BC’s settlement sector. The main session will take place in the morning, with a separate add-on registration for the more focused afternoon session.

The morning session, which is open to all, will feature a panel presentation and moderated discussion with three guest speakers. Together they will explore the critical questions and paradoxes that arise when trying to engage in decolonizing actions while navigating Eurocentric systems.

In the afternoon session, which is ideal for sector professionals and university affiliates that want to build connections, CMS will showcase ways it can support the research needs of the sector. This will be followed by an interactive session where participants can connect, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided
