Upcoming Talk:

Nicole Constable
"The Global Politics of Migrant Labor, Gender, and Everyday Life"

Monday, March 24, 2014
4-5:30 PM

Burnside Hall 426,
McGill University
Montreal, QC
Nicole Constable's (Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh)
talk focuses on the everyday challenges faced by temporary migrant
workers, especially migrant women from the Philippines and Indonesia who
become pregnant in Hong Kong.
Various factors – especially the migratory status of their partners –
deeply color their own and their children's opportunities and
vulnerabilities. Migrant mothers' stories point not only to their creative
tactics for survival, but also to ever-growing global patterns of economic
inequality and to the wider politics of privilege and precarity that
define and limit their life choices. The stories of migrant mothers and
their babies in Hong Kong may seem unique, but they echo many contemporary
problems and vulnerabilities faced by temporary migrants the world over.

This talk draws from recent anthropological and ethnographic fieldwork,
and from my forthcoming book entitled: Born Out of Place: Migrant Mothers
and the Politics of International Labor (University of California Press,
2014).
Co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology and the Institute for Gender,
Sexuality, and Feminist Studies.

Upcoming Talk:

Sarah Franklin: After IVF: Is the Future of Reproduction Technological?
Thursday, March 20, 2014,
3:00-5:00 PM

Social Studies of Medicine,
McGill University, 3647 Peel Street, Room 101
Montreal, QC

Sarah Franklin's (Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge) talk
looks both forward and back at what is meant by the phrase 'reproductive
technology' and examines how 'new reproductive technologies' might be
related to older technologies of kinship, gender, sex. Examining in
particular the transformation of the human embryo into a tool, and the
wider technologization of reproductive substance at the IVF-stem cell
interface, this talk explores the changing relationship between the
biological and the technical in contemporary bioscience.

Cosponsored by the department of Social Studies of Medicine, the Institute
for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies (IGSF) and the Situating
Science cluster.

Upcoming Presentation: Implementing the New Deal - Building Peaceful States

Monday, March 24
University of Ottawa


The New Deal is a key agreement between fragile states and partners to
change the policy and practice of engagement.

Presentation by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Development
(DFATD), the Journal of Peacebuilding and Development, CIPS and the
Fragile States Research Network.

The New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States could transform the way the
international community practices peacebuilding and state-building. To
what extent is that so, two years after the New Deal was signed? How do
advances vary by pilot country and by goal? Why – in terms of practices by
key FCAS governments, civil society organisations and donors? How could
Canada, the private sector and others contribute to implementing the New
Deal, in countries like the DRC?

A diverse group of senior and mid-level actors involved in New Deal
implementation has been invited to Canada to share their views, including:

-HAFEEZ MUSA ALI WANI: National NGO Focal Point, the New Deal, South Sudan
NGO
Secretariat, South Sudan

-FRANSESCA BOMBOKO: Co-chair of the IDPS Indicators Working Group; National
Coordinator of the Poverty Observatory, Ministry of Planning, Democratic
