This week we have been continuing to work on our inquiry into what it means to belong. Recently, we engaged in a study of the the global refugee crisis triggered by the current conflict in Syria - in particular Canada's response to it - by examining a series of four New York Times articles about Canadian sponsorship of Syrian refugees. Now we are preparing to conduct our own research into this topic by interviewing family members and members of the Vanier community about their own experience as new Canadians.
