Immigrants' Sense of Belonging to Canada
Immigrants' Social Relations with Neighbours
Does municipal funding of organizations reflect communities of need? Exploring trends in Halifax, 1996-2016
Recent policy shifts and budget cuts have led to a reduction in government support for NGOs. While studies examine funding at the federal level, few analyze municipalities. Using a socio-spatial approach, we compare municipal funding and tax relief with Census data to analyze how fiscal support coincides with social needs in Halifax, Canada. Our analysis shows that funding declines while the need remains high. We contend this has implications for…
The Rise of Big-City Hockey Players and Its Implication for Diversity in the National Hockey League
Canadian-raised players in the National Hockey League are increasingly coming from large cities with rising numbers of visible minority and immigrant youth. In this paper, we compare the demographic characteristics of recent big-city NHL players with those of their hometowns. We also examine which city-level characteristics are associated with the number of NHL players from the same hometown. Our analysis of publicly available hockey player data …
Conflicts in Sporting Masculinity
Increasing pressure and activism for social equality and justice is challenging the primacy of heteronormativity. Masculinities signified by stereotypically feminine traits and men who embody them are argued to be accruing power. Considering these developments, this study investigates the extent to which male athletes support inclusive perceptions and expressions of masculinity and the concordance between beliefs and behaviors. Results from corre…
Changes in selection policy and refugee welfare use in Canada
With the introduction of the 2002 Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Canada shifted its refugee selection criteria from adaptability to vulnerability. Little is known about the long‐term impact of this policy change on the economic self‐sufficiency of Government‐Assisted Refugees (GARs). Using data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), we compare the long‐term receipt of social assistance (SA) incomes among three GAR coho…
Feminist Men and Sexual Behavior
Men's identification with and support for feminism has attracted the interest of masculinity scholars. This study explores an under-researched dimension of this phenomenon, investigating the relationship between feminist identification and sexual behavior. In heterosexual encounters, do feminist men report having sex more recently than those who do not call themselves feminists? During sexual encounters, do feminist men behave differently than no…
Are refugees more likely to leave initial destinations than economic immigrants? Recent evidence from Canadian longitudinal administrative data
Secondary migration is of policy interest in many immigrant‐receiving countries when efforts are made to steer immigrants away from major urban centres. One example is refugee dispersal policy. Although previous research, mostly evaluating the policy itself, argues it would disproportionately increase the secondary migration of refugees settled in nongateway cities, quantitative analysis is limited. This study compares the long‐term secondary mig…
The long-term economic integration of resettled refugees in Canada
Private refugee sponsorship has been an important Canadian policy initiative for 40 years. It is now attracting international attention as Europe grapples with an influx of refugees. However, no Canadian research has evaluated the long-term refugee economic integration associated with private sponsorship, in comparison to government assistance, using rigorous multivariate analysis. This study compares the economic outcomes of Privately Sponsored …
