Workshop goal
This interdisciplinary workshop brings together scholars from across different disciplines and faculties at 麻豆AV and other local universities who share a common interest in issues of migration, race and/or ethnicity. Founded in 2015 by Professor Zoua Vang (CPD member and 麻豆AV Dept of Sociology), the goal of the workshop is to circulate works-in-progress in order to elicit feedback and suggestions for improving scholarly work such as dissertation chapters, journal articles, and conference papers. Papers are circulated two weeks in advance so that the majority of the meeting can be spent on feedback and discussion. We meet on a monthly basis on Thursdays or Tuesdays from 12 to 1 PM. To inquire about or to attend the IRE workshop, email Zoua Vang zoua.vang [at] mcgill.ca (subject: IRE%20workshop) (HERE).
