Knowledge Café: Times of Uncertainty for Forced Migrants: Syrian refugee mothers in Canada

How do Syrian refugee mothers settling in Canada imagine their futures in this new context? How do these future projections evolve over time? Drawing on extensive qualitative data from in-depth interviews and observations, Dr. Omar examines how Syrian refugee mothers experience time and uncertainty, and conceptualize their futures, after resettlement in Canada. Her doctoral research contributes to an emergent stream in the migration literature focusing on temporality as a distinct phenomenon of the migratory process.
