Cultural Safety in Service Provision for Migrant Agricultural Workers? An Empirical Exploration
Activists and scholars have long highlighted the precarity of migrant agricultural workers (MAWs) in Canada and the unique threat it poses to this group’s health and wellbeing. In response, the Canadian government recently launched a series of targeted programming and services for this population. However, little research has explored the effectiveness of these initiatives within the broader support landscape. Our qualitative narrative research i…
Migrant Agricultural Workers’ Experiences of Support in Three Migrant‐Intensive Communities in Canada
Canada has intensified its reliance on temporary foreign workers, including migrant agricultural workers (MAWs) who have contributed to its agriculture sector, rural economies, and food security for decades. These workers live and work in rural communities across Canada for up to two years. Thousands of MAWs engage in recurring cyclical migration, often returning to the same rural communities in Canada for decades, while others are undocumented. …
The Differential Inclusion of Migrant Farmworkers’ and the Landscape of Support in a Migrant-intensive Region in Ontario, Canada
Understanding Migrant Farmworkers’ Health and Well-Being during the Global Covid-19 Pandemic in Canada: Toward a Transnational Conceptualization of Employment Strain
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada imposed certain international travel bans and work-from-home orders, yet migrant farmworkers, declared essential to national food security, were exempt from such measures. In this context, farm worksites proved to be particularly prone to COVID-19 outbreaks. To apprehend this trend, we engaged an expanded and transnational employment strain framework that identified the employment demands and resources underst…
We are part of this place, but I do not think I belong.” Temporariness, Social Inclusion and Belonging among Migrant Farmworkers in Southwestern Ontario
The Canadian temporary migration regime has been widely criticised for its failure to provide protections and address migrant needs. This article contributes to these critiques by analysing how temporariness impacts the sense of belonging and perceptions of social inclusion among farmworkers in Canada. The sense of inclusion and belonging is vital for individuals’ sense of well‐being, and therefore, a critique of temporariness is incomplete witho…
Searching for belonging and confronting exclusion: A person-centred approach to immigrant settlement experiences in Canada
Drawing on an analysis of three immigrant narratives, this paper employs a person-centred approach to immigrant integration in Canada. It examines how immigrants interpret the inclusions/exclusions that mark their integration experience and the consequences these experiences have on their social identities and sense of belonging. Analysis demonstrates that for immigrants a sense of belonging does not grow in a linear fashion; rather, it grows, st…
Welcoming Initiatives and the Social Inclusion of Newcomer Youth: The Case of Windsor, Ontario
This paper explores how newcomer youth experience social inclusion in their first years of settlement in a mid-sized Canadian city—Windsor, Ontario. The paper situates the experiences of newcomer youth within the larger community context of welcoming initiatives to identify the avenues through which they are included and excluded from their local places of residence. Analysis reveals that newcomer youth experience uneven neighborhood connections,…

Engaging with an Invisible Politics: Gender Mainstreaming as a Practice in Newfoundland and Labrador
This article examines the way feminists engage with gender mainstreaming in their attempt to transform gender inequalities in Newfoundland and Labrador, a province on Canada's east coast. It employs an anthropological perspective to explore one aspect of gender mainstreaming, namely the way gender analysis models are deployed in specific encounters, to consider how such equality templates can both reproduce and challenge pre-existing social relat…

This article explores Tamil diasporic engagement in Toronto, at the turn of the Sri Lankan struggle in 2009, to foreground the contested and transnational character of Canadian multiculturalism. It asks whether Canadian multicultural discourse provides a space for social and political identity-making within the Tamil-Canadian Diaspora. The article then sketches the way multiculturalism informed Tamil-Canadian identity-making amongst young and old…

Its purpose is to locate and situate gender mainstreaming in the culturally specific contexts in which it is practiced to capture the complex realities in which gender policies are implemented and wom…

Four makes society: Women's organisation, Dravidian nationalism and women's interpretation of caste, gender and change in South India
The proliferation of women's organisations, particularly those attached to larger social movements or state initiatives, necessitates ethnographically situated examinations of the way women's issues and gendered experiences are constituted and understood within specific cultural contexts. This article examines a women's organisation in South India, which is linked to a Dravidian social movement. I explore the way the movement repro duces and chal…
