Event Details

Dear IMRC Affiliates, Associates, and Friends,

Join us on March 31st at 4:30pm in the CIGI Auditorium for the inaugural Dr. Kerry Preibisch Lecture in Global Social Justice and Migration.

This lecture is the first of the annual Dr. Kerry Preibisch Global Social Justice and Migration Lecture Series organized by the International Migration Research Centre. Dr. Kerry Preibisch was a prolific scholar in the area of social justice and migration, who died of cancer in January, 2016, at the height of her career. The intention of this annual memorial lecture will be to add to the myriad ways that scholars and students can keep her research and vision of promoting migrants’ human rights alive into the future. Invited speakers must bring a global social justice perspective to their lecture pertaining to migration, and are encouraged to engage directly with Kerry’s work.

IMRC Director, Dr. Jenna Hennebry, will introduce this new lecture series with a short talk "Mapping Migrant Worker Health into the Global Health & Migration Nexus”.

Dr. Janet McLaughlin, a Research Associate of the IMRC, will be delivering the first Dr. Kerry Preibisch Lecture entitled, "Harvesting Justice: Towards Securing the Health and Human Rights of Migrant Agricultural Workers in Canada”.

Further information on this event including the abstract for Dr. McLaughlin's presentation can be found on our website at: imrc.ca/dr-kerry-preibisch-lecture-2016/
