Canadian Studies makes news in Canada with migrant labor talk

October 15, 2020

A recent Canadian Studies colloquium on rights for migrant farmworkers in Canada made the news across the border. The McGill Tribune, affiliated with McGill University, published a full recap of the October 6th lecture, which was entitled "Social Movements and Legal Mobilisation in Times of Crisis: Migrant Farm Worker Rights in Canada". The speaker was Vasanthi Venkatesh, a professor of law at the University of Windsor who received a Hildebrand Fellowship from Canadian Studies for her doctoral research. The story shows the expanded reach of Canadian Studies' virtual colloquia, which now consistently reach audiences from across the United States and Canada. Read the full write-up here.
