Case study workshops

Canada & Immigration Detention
November 13, 2019

We were joined by Stephanie J. Silverman, a Research Associate at the Centre for Refugee Studies at our first Case Study Workshop of the year on November 13, 2019. 
Stephanie walked us through what immigration detention is, providing some key figures and statistics along with cases of immigration detention to help us understand what it is.
Some questions discussed throughout the workshop were: 
  • What are some alternatives to immigration detention? 
  • How can we make immigration detention a "better" experience and not "detention"?
  • What happens to children born in immigration detention? 
  • Where are people held?
  • What's the point of immigration detention?
  • What kinds of policies govern this process? Who decides on them?
This workshop was organized by: Habiba Khaled, Manvir Gill, and Suelan Chong-Kit.
