The Mobilizing Knowledge on Newcomers Symposium invites proposals for oral and poster presentations on research with newcomers in the areas of social care, education, health and wellness and grassroots community engagement. We especially welcome proposals highlighting research that involves collaboration between Service Provider Organizations (SPOs) working with newcomers and researchers. The poster symposium will provide an opportunity for SPOs and researchers—especially graduate students—in the early stages of their projects to showcase their work.
Papers will be given in English or French.
Deadline for abstract submission is July 31, 2019. Notifications of acceptance will be made by August 15.
