Event: Are Refugees Welcome Here? Trump, Immigration, and Canadian
Responses- Feb 3 (U of T)

Dear colleagues,


In light of recent political events, I am co-organizing an event
entitled, "Are Refugees Welcome Here? Trump, Immigration and Canadian
Responses" this Friday from 4:30 to 6 pm at the Centre for Ethics at
the University of Toronto. This all came together at the very last
minute (I.e., details were only finalized this morning) so apologies
for the short notice. I hope to see some of you there.


Best Wishes,


Ethel Tungohan


Are Refugees Welcome Here? Trump, Immigration, and Canadian Responses


Friday February 3rd, 4:30 - 6PM

Seminar Room, Centre for Ethics, 2nd Floor, Larkin Building, 15
Devonshire Place, University of Toronto



The Canadian Association of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies
(CARFMS) and the International Human Rights Program (UofT) invite you
to an informal, information-sharing, and brainstorming session at the
Centre for Ethics to discuss the implications of Trump
Administration's Executive Orders on immigration and refugee policy in
the US, and political change in Canada.


Panelists:

Salina Abji, SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellow, Carleton University & Rights
of Non-Status Women's Network
Idil Atak, Assistant Professor, Ryerson University
Andrew Brouwer, Lawyer, Refugee Law Office
Stephanie J. Silverman, Bora Laskin National Fellow in Human Rights
Ethel Tungohan, Assistant Professor, York University


Introduced by Samer Muscati, Director, International Human Rights
Programme (IHRP), and facilitated by Petra Molnar,migrant rights
researcher


This interdisciplinary conversation will situate the Executive Orders
into a historic and sociolegal pattern of violence against specific
communities and discuss how to effect positive change in Canadian law
and policy.


Throughout the sixteen year-old "War on Terror," Muslim and other
minorities have been exposed to racially-, religiously-, and
ethnically-motivated targeting. Although history demonstrates time and
again that refugees are not terrorists, Trump's Orders specifically
link the two and perpetuate the dangerous fallacy that the Muslim
community is a source of danger.


In the wake of the attack at the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Centre,
this interactive dialogue will address how to effect realizable change
quickly, effectively, and strategically in Canada, as well as how to
combat Islamophobia and negative discourses around migration.


Key points of intervention include:

the Safe Third Country Agreement which limits asylum seekers from
coming to Canada through the US and results in needlessly
life-threatening journeys and drawn-out legal battles
the Designated Countries of Origin regime, which works in tandem and
separately from the Safe Third Country Agreement to curb and
discourage asylum claims from people originating from +40 countries,
including the US, Mexico, and Hungary
the Barbaric Practices Act, a Canadian predecessor for ''extreme vetting'
reopening the 'quota' on Groups of Five and Community Sponsors
resettling Syrian and Iraqi refugees to Canada
