THE 2002 GEORGIA MINI-CONFERENCE

"Immigration & America's Changing Ethnic Landscapes"

Athens, GA, APRIL 12-14, 2002

Renewed immigration to the United States is prompting a fundamental ethnic and racial restructuring of American society. Indeed, some observers claim that the U.S. will become a "minority majority" country in a few short decades -- a projection that stimulates much social and political anxiety. Traditional immigration gateways (e.g., California and New York -- especially their major cities, Los Angeles and New York) have struggled to respond to rapidly changing demographics. Immigration affects almost every aspect of society in these contexts; from housing and labor markets to cultural identities and inter-group conflicts.

 

The call for abstracts and detailed information on registration and accommodations will be forthcoming in early fall. Until then, please direct any questions to Kavita Pandit (pandit@uga.edu), Steve Holloway (holloway@uga.edu) or Rob Yarbrough (ryarbrou@uga.edu).

FIRST CONTACT

The Red Cross, in association with CERIS and Toronto's Refugee Housing Task Group, has recently begun a project entitled "First Contact". The project consists of two integrated components: (1) action research and (2) a pilot service delivery programme. Funding has been provided by a SCPI (Supporting Communities Partnership Initiative -

Homeless Programs and Services) grant. "First Contact" is designed to assist refugee claimants who arrive in Toronto homeless, with few resources, a limited support system and little knowledge of services that can help. Upon arrival in Toronto, refugee claimants do not have access to the settlement services available to sponsored refugees.

The need for a project to assist in the initial settlement of refugee claimants has been identified by the Refugee Housing Task Group, the Mayor's Homelessness Action Task Force and a recent report on the Romero House community (A Search for Home: Refugee Voices in the Romero House Community).

 

The research component of the project will establish the experiences of other jurisdictions in receiving refugee claimants, document the number of refugee claimants arriving in Toronto and their characteristics, and establish existing resources, needs and gaps from both the service provider and client perspectives. Questionnaire surveys are being undertaken with service providers and a sample of recently arrived claimants. Robert Murdie, the CERIS Housing and Neighbourhood domain leader and a member of the Refugee Housing Task Group, is providing advice on the research component of the project. The research is being conducted by Bushra Junaid. The pilot service delivery programme is taking place at the Red Cross Downtown Community Office where Fadumo Abukar is the Settlement Coordinator. The objective is to provide refugee claimants with accurate and reliable information to assist them in accessing available basic needs. Project personnel will be accessible 24 hours per day through a widely distributed Red Cross telephone number. Refugees making an inland claim will also be

eligible for the service.

 

Further information may be obtained from Robert Murdie, Department of Geography, York University (416-736-5107; murdie@yorku.ca (or) from Niloo Zand (416-929-7848; nzand@redcross.ca) or Fadumo Abukar (416-929-7848; faduma.abukar@redcross.ca) at the Canadian Red Cross.


YORK UNIVERSITY AND THE MAYTREE FOUNDATION B launch a new management certificate program for immigrant and refugee serving agencies.

 

York University's Schulich School of Business and The Maytree Foundation have entered into a partnership to launch a six-month management certificate program for executive directors and managers of settlement, employment and neighbourhood agencies working with immigrants and refugees.

 

Who Should Enrol: Current and aspiring executive directors and senior managers of settlement, employment and neighbourhood organizations working with immigrants and refugees.

Graduating students will receive a York University - Maytree Foundation Management Certificate upon completion of the program.

 

Note: students must have access to the Internet to participate.

Cost: The value of the York University - Maytree Foundation Management Certificate is $6,500 per student. Through a generous funding opportunity, the Maytree Foundation is offering scholarships to qualifying students which cover over 95% of the cost of the program. Qualifying students pay only a $250 registration fee.

HONG FOOK MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

Promoting Mental Health Among East and Southeast Asian Immigrant/Refugee Women in Ontario: An Individual and Community Empowerment Model

 

Project Summary:

The overall goal of this demonstration project is to facilitate the empowerment of East and Southeast Asian women to make informed choices in regards to mental health services and treatment options for themselves and/or their family members. The project comprises the two components of community need assessment and empowerment education. The target population of this project include immigrant/refugee women from the Cambodian, Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), Korean, and Vietnamese communities in Metro Toronto, York Region/Markham and Mississauga/Peel Region.

 

This demonstration project is significant because it integrates knowledge and research into practice. The findings will contribute to the knowledge gaps on the mental health of E & SEA women in Ontario. They will also guide mental health promotion and services provision. In addition, the cross-cultural and empowerment approach of this project will contribute significantly to community capacity building in the East and Southeast Asian communities in Ontario, and the model can be adapted for use by other ethno-specific communities.

INTERNET RESOURCES

 

Take advantage of this unique initiative in online collaboration by visiting the CERIS Website!!!

Thanks to funding received from the CIC, Ontario Administration for Settlement and Integration Services (OASIS), we have completed a new Online Content Enhancement Project (OCEP) to promote access to vital historical immigration research documents.

In collaboration with the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS),York University and CIC, OASIS, CERIS has digitalized and posted a large selection of fully down loadable historical immigration research documents. The documents from the library collections of the three centres, have been selected based on their historical and contemporary significance, as well as their limited circulation.

Also as part of the OCEP Project, CERIS is currently testing a prototype for a new search mechanism called the CERIS Resourcefinder. This is a method for accessing information about immigration and settlement through a standard indexing system. It allows users to easily search online for available CERIS Resources, and also will facilitate common access to the online resources for both the Andrew Forbes Refugee Resource Centre Bibliographic Database, Settlement.org, and other future partners.

Find these new resources at http://ceris.metropolis.net

"And We Still Ain't Satisfied": Gender Inequality in Canada, Centre for Social Justice and NAC, June 27, 2001. After decades of working toward income equality, new research from the Centre for Social Justice and the National Action Committee on the Status of Women shows that the gender gap is much wider than commonly believed: women's incomes are 61% that of men's and 20% of all women live in poverty. The report is based on previously unpublished Statistics Canada data on labour and income to 1998. A press release and PDF version of the report are available on the CSJ website at: http://www.socialjustice.org/

CULTURAL COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT TOOL

The following information is supplied by Chris Friesen, Director of Settlement for the Immigrant Services Society in Vancouver, B.C.

 

I co-chair a government-community advisory committee to a Provincial Ministry responsible for children and families in British Columbia. As part of our work we developed a Framework document that defined Cultural Competency as well as an Assessment tool. I am forwarding to you a link to the Assessment tool. We are finding that it is quite helpful to contracted service providers who continue to grapple with the issue of ensuring their services are accessible to all members of the community.

PORTRAITS OF IMMIGRANTS IN CANADIAN CITIES

Portraits of immigrants in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Quebec City, Regina, Winnipeg and Edmonton are available at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/srr/index.html

LOOKING FOR TRAINING LAUNCH

In June ACTEW held a very successful launch of the Looking for Training Directory at the Fred Victor Employment Resource Centre. The tool was developed collaboratively between ACTEW and ONESTEP. Funding for the project was generously provided by the Voluntary Action Online Program of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, the Trillium Foundation and the Office of Learning Technologies. The Looking for Training Directory is available at http://www.actew.org/lft.


CHALLENGES AND CONNECTIONS PROJECT

Through a grant from the Maytree Foundation, ACTEW interviewed 16 professionals who work with low-income immigrant women at 12 different community-based agencies to capture their information needs: a few common themes emerged. Toronto's immigrant population is continuously changing as immigration patterns reflect political, cultural and economical situations abroad. A learning network that reflects the specific needs and work arrangement of community-based agency is a key element to improve the capacity and success rate of community-based training. A full-text version of the final report is available for download (PDF format) from the ACTEW website at http://www.actew.org/about/pubs.html
