DESCRIPTION:Dr. Luna Vives is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre
  for Research on Children and Families\, ɬ�﷬. Her work focus
 es on how uneven power relationships between mainstream and racialized pop
 ulations are perpetuated through differential access to public services. D
 r. Vives’ areas of expertise include inter-national migration\, human righ
 ts\, public policy and knowledge trans-lation and transfer. Besides her re
 search\, Dr. Vives has experience teaching college and university-level co
 urses\, and has been involved in a number of grassroots community developm
 ent initiatives in Canada and abroad.\n\nDr. Vives will give an example le
 cture tailored to a typical BSW class (SWRK 221 - Public Social Service in
  Canada with a focus on international migration). She will be speaking abo
 ut “Immigration Policy as a Framework for Social Work Practice”.\n	Internat
 ional migration is the movement of people across national borders for the 
 purpose of resettlement. Immigration policy regu-lates this movement\, and
  at the same time grants and limits access to rights and public services f
 or non-nationals. In this lecture\, Dr. Vives will explore the role of imm
 igration policy as a tool that governments use to respond to the challenge
 s posed by an aging population\; present the main categories of migration 
 in Canada\; and discuss their implications for Social Work practice. By th
 e end of the class\, students will have the tools to engage critically wit
 h this area of public policy.\n\nDate: Thu\, Oct 27 \, 2016\n\nTime: 9:30
