Description
This course systematically discusses the unique dynamics of families of recent immigrants in their process of immigration and integration into Canadian society. Topics covered are diverse family forms, family formation, spousal relations, intergenerational relations, older immigrants and elderly care, transnational kinship, and fertility. Since immigrant men and women face dissimilar challenges, a gender perspective is applied through the course. This course aims to assist students of immigrant families to cope with the unique challenges they face and to facilitate students of public services, education, social work, policing, etc. to provide more culturally sensitivity services.
