Led by prof. Mireille Paquet, this reading group is open to all interested students and faculty. Participants are only required to read and discuss the text assigned for each meeting. This is a welcoming, stress-free environment for Concordians interested in immigration studies, regardless of their level of knowledge or discipline. We look forward to meeting you!

Voting rights for non-citizens have been extended at the municipal level in some contexts, and recently there have been discussions about extending the franchise in Canadian local elections. Despite the interest in migrant voting rights in Western, immigrant-receiving societies, there is little research into Canadians’ attitudes and opinions on the issue.

This workshop, which will be held in English, will be moderated by Antoine Bilodeau, Director of the Immigration Research Initiative (IRI) and Professor at Concordia University's Department of Political Science.
