Call for Papers: Strangers in New Homelands
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.

This conference, the third in a series organized by the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Manitoba, will bring together researchers, academics, graduate students, community organizations and services, and government representatives from around the world to promote exchange and discussion on aspects of the integration and settlement of new immigrants in the diaspora. The focus will be on the emotional and social deconstruction and reconstruction of the concept of ‘home’ among these immigrants.

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