The Joint Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement (CERIS) is presenting a proposal for your consideration: the creation of a Research Support Group. CERIS is trying to promote more interaction and mutual support for graduate students and other researchers working in the areas of immigration, settlement and multiculturalism. CERIS is offering organizational and material support to facilitate the "take off" of a students/researchers led group that would meet regularly to discuss issues relevant to graduate work in the areas of immigration and settlement; for example: academic and procedural matters of common interest ideas, experiences and feelings about graduate work sharing of bibliographies, resources, etc. liaison with researchers already working in the field In summary, we would like to promote some form of mutual support both intellectual, social and collegial. Our idea is to provide space and opportunity to create a network of a new generation of immigration researchers that may eventually lead to new developments in the field, such as comparative research on similar topics in different communities, etc. We would like to have some input from graduate students in the field about this initiative. Do you find it a useful and workable proposal? Will you be able to commit to participate or at least come to an initial exploratory meeting? If so, please suggest various times to meet. Let us know what your thoughts on this initiative are, and also please pass this invitation to any other student/ researcher who may be interested in such a group. You may please e-mail your responses attention Cathy Masino at <liaison_CERIS@yahoo.com> or to Fidelia Torres at <f.torres@utoronto.ca> or you may fax them to 971-3094 or drop them at the CERIS offices at 246 Bloor St. West, 5th floor (St. George Station by Bedford Exit). Greetings and thanks! Prof. Mohammad Qadeer, CERIS Seminar Coordinator

NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS IN PROGRESS

EMPIRICAL stands for "Educational Media Partnership on Immigration and Refugee Issues for Computer Assisted Learning". The goals of the EMPIRICAL project include a series of academic courses, an instructional package for persons working in the NGO sector, and instructional package for policy makers and civil servants, an historical series and a series for the general public. CERIS has been funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Ontario Administration of Settlement and Immigration Services (OASIS) to take on the academic portion, with Director Dr. Morton Beiser as Principal Investigator. Further information will be forthcoming in our newsletter and on our website as the project develops.

The "Strangers Becoming Us" project now includes the development of quality learning materials on immigration for grades four to six provided free of charge in Canadian classrooms. This project received a seed grant from the Maytree Foundation and further funding from the Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Ontario Administration of Settlement and Immigration Services (OASIS). The Principal Investigator is Dr. Morton Beiser, CERIS Director. A recent launch for the project was attended by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, the Honourable Elinor Caplan (for more details see the recent CERIS newsletter, also available on our website). The next phase of this project will be geared to grade 10 students.

Dr. Morton Beiser and his departmental colleagues at Culture, Community and Health Studies at the University of Toronto were recently awarded a grant by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to study mental health among refugees in the Toronto Tamil community. This is a joint project that also includes CERIS, the Tamil Community Council and the Family Services Association. Dr. Beiser is the Head of Culture, Community and Health Studies and David Crombie Professor of Cultural Pluralism and Health at the University of Toronto as well as Director of CERIS.

CERIS and the Metropolis project, and CERIS Director Dr. Morton Beiser, were featured in the fall 2000 issue of EDGE, the newsletter of Research, Scholarship and Innovation at the University of Toronto. EDGE is published by Research and International Relations in collaboration with Development and University Relations at the University of Toronto. Extra copies of this issue of EDGE are available at the CERIS Toronto office.

PROBLEM GAMBLING PROGRAM LAUNCHED AT COSTI

A Problem Gambling Program has been launched at the COSTI Family Counselling Centre. The major goal of the program, funded by the Ontario Substance Abuse Bureau of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, is to assist Italian Canadians in identifying and resolving personal, family and community problems related to gambling.

For further information contact Carmela Perna, Clinical Counsellor at 416-244-7714 ext. 270 or Anglea Martella, Community Development Worker at 416-244-7714 ext. 278.

WHO ARE I?

Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Yet when we think of diversity we typically think only of specific ethnic or racial groups. Often overlooked is the growing number of people of bi-cultural or bi-racial heritage that challenge our fixed ideas of ethnicity, race and diversity.

Who ARE I? is a research project funded by Canadian Heritage (Multiculturalism) that seeks to learn about the life experiences of mixed heritage children. More specifically, the project will document the unique opportunities and challenges faced by culturally or racially mixed children in Toronto, particularly those of immigrant or refugee background.

We are very much interested in speaking with mixed heritage children, their parents and educators, as well as with community workers and service providers. If you are interested in sharing your experience or knowledge, or know someone else who would be, please contact Ali Zaidi or Anneke Rummens at the numbers below. Project interview participants will receive a choice of gift certificates as honorarium.

The research team is part of the Culture, Community and Health Studies program affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto.
