The Research Associate will examine Canada’s federal immigration law and policy in order to understand the mechanisms through which Muslim-identified individuals face disproportionate scrutiny. Within this broad scope, we invite inquiry into how racial and Orientalist notions are coded into laws, policies and institutional practices in various arenas of the immigration regime, and how these notions may shape regime findings and actions, such as inadmissibility, CBSA stops and detentions, and visa programs from Muslim majority countries.

The successful applicant will ideally be well-versed in Canada’s immigration regime, while bringing to the study interdisciplinary methodologies from the humanities and interpretive social sciences, including but not limited to critical race and decolonial theoretical approaches, which would inform the project and the analysis undertaken therein.
