Sociocultural Integration of Newcomers: What Role Do Assets Play
This paper explores factors responsible for sociocultural integration of various groups of newcomers. In developing this model, which focuses on strengths and weaknesses of both individual and community, I borrow from social capital, human capital, clinical psychology, and resiliency perspectives. The data source is administrative data of the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. The results of this study show that ethnic origin and individual and commun…
Granting Inequities: Racialization and Gender Differences in Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada's Grant Amounts for Research Elites
This paper explores inequities in the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRCC) grant amounts awarded to successful applicants in Canada's universities. Specifically, the study seeks to discern whether ethnicity and gender matter for amounts of SSHRCC's award decisions using compiled SSHRCC data and names of successful grant applicants to generate a large sample from 1998 to 2018. Although the importance of ethnicity along…
Mental Health of Newcomer Refugee and Immigrant Youth During Covid-19
In this paper, we examine how the degree of newcomer youth assimilation and acculturation, food insecurity, resilience, and social connections affect the mental health of recent refugee and immigrant youth in a mid-sized city during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data for this study are based on a sample of newcomers, mostly refugees, surveyed between July and November 2020. Indicators of mental health problems include the frequency in which responde…

Suicidal ideation and social integration in three Canadian provinces: The importance of social support and community belonging
Extending recent developments in the neo-Durkheimian analysis of suicidality as an indicator of social pathology, this paper analyses individual level survey data on suicidal ideation, perceptions of social support, and the sense of belonging from three Canadian provinces drawn from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2015-16). We ask whether or not social support and a sense of belonging affect suicide ideation differently. In answering this q…
Retirement Inequalities: The Importance of Ethnic Origins
In the late 1960s, Canada reformed its earlier discriminatory immigration policies that prevented entry of individuals from “undesirable” countries and/or nationalities. Despite today’s more democratic immigration policies, new arrivals still experience significant barriers in terms of labour market integration, which results in substantial inequalities during retirement. In this study, data from the 2016 Census Public File is used to compare the…
Tehran's troubled youth: A neo-Durkheimian analysis of suicidality and family dynamics
Muslims, Socio-cultural Integration, and Pride in Canadian Democracy
In this paper, I use the General Social Survey 2013 (Cycle 27) and address three aspects of integration anxiety about Muslims in Canada: a) the extent to which Muslim immigrants' level of integration differs from other religious denominations, b) how Muslims differ from other groups in their support for democracy, and c) whether there is a relationship between integration and support for democracy. Results show that contrary to the anxiety of som…
Who's Got My Back: A Neo-Durkheimian Analysis of Suicidality and Perceptions of Social Support in British Columbia and Saskatchewan
Critically reconsidering Durkheim's sociology of suicide, we develop a quantitative analysis of individual level data contained in the Canadian Community Health Survey (2009-2012) to investigate the relationship between perceptions of social support and suicidality in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Saskatchewan. We operationalize Durkheim's general sociology to investigate relationships between people's perceptions of the more obj…
Economic Benefits of Self‐Employment for Canadian Immigrants
This paper evaluates the economic benefits of self-employment in Canada for 12 groups of ethno-racial immigrants. It tests whether or not their self-employment earnings are higher or lower than similar groups in wage and salary employment, whether ethnic minorities earn more or less from self-employment compared to White immigrants, and whether self-employment earnings of immigrant groups vary by their industrial sectors of employment. Using the …
Discrimination and Health of Male and Female Canadian Immigrant
Ideological Orientation of Professors and Equity Policies for Racialized Minorities
This paper examines the extent to which university professors in Canada are supportive of policies that set targets for admission to colleges and universities and that help increase employment opportunities for racial and ethnic minorities in the wider market. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that support for equity legislation is primarily accounted for by professors' ideological orientation and less so by their collective or self-interest…

Social Capital and the Myth of Minority Self-Employment: Evidence from Canada
Using data from the Ethnic Diversity Survey conducted by Statistics Canada in 2001, this paper shows that visible minorities, particularly blacks, are the least likely to be self-employed when compared to Europeans. The rate of self-employment for visible minorities is lowest in manufacturing and the primary sectors of the economy. To the extent that social capital is important for self-employment, its benefits vary by type of social capital and …
Political Affiliation of Canadian Professors
The social role of universities has been subject to a lengthy debate as to whether those who teach in the academy are system legitimizing conservatives or radicals helping to generate critical thinking and challenge to the status quo. Despite this controversy, neoconservatives in the U.S. have used the evidence of professors’ strong support for the Democratic candidates as an indication of universities being dominated by left-leaning radicals. Th…
