Research Domains
Settlement, Integration, and Welcoming Communities
Julie Drolet, Thompson Rivers U. jdrolet@tru.ca
Every year tens of thousands of immigrants and refugees choose British Columbia as their new home. The extent to which communities in BC are able to integrate/include immigrants, refugees and minorities depends on a number of societal conditions, some of which can be effectively altered by government policies. The SIWC domain is particularly established to focus on the settlement and integration issues in, and the capacities of, local communities of British Columbia. The research priorities of this domain are largely set, but not limited, to examine a) different public policy instruments which aim to enhance the capacity of cities and communities in BC to receive and integrate immigrants, refugees, and minorities and b) issues and processes of settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees in communities of different regions of BC.
