My name is Imroze Singh Deol. I am a PhD. student at SPPH. My research engages with issues of migration by exploring how cultural beliefs surrounding intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) are transferred across borders with immigrant families, particularly within the Panjabi diaspora. I focus on how these cultural misconceptions, formed in Panjab, India, persist through migration and continue to shape healthcare access in Canada. By examining the interplay of migration, healthcare systems, and cultural beliefs, my work highlights the barriers immigrant communities face in seeking care for IDDs. Ultimately, my research seeks to develop culturally sensitive interventions that improve healthcare access for marginalized populations impacted by migration.
