The Faculty of Social Work is sending out a Call for Papers for the "Strangers in New Homelands" Conference, taking place on November 12 - 13, 2010 at University Centre, University of Manitoba.

The conference theme is: Creating 'home' away from 'home': Channelling the expectations and anticipation of new immigrants into positive experiences in host societies.
