Civic and labour engagements as avenues for the integration and social
cohesion of migrants: exploring the intersections of race, class and
gender and marginalized identities
This seminar will focus on how identity and oppression mobilise people
to act, more specifically, how these different forms of oppression
intersect such that individuals are able to come together to act for the
common good.
