Principal Investigators
Luin Goldring is a Professor of Sociology at York University. Her current research analyses immigration status as a fault line of social inequality. Current and recent projects include Immigrants and Precarious Employment (with P. Landolt); Poverty and Employment Precarity in Southern Ontario (W. Lewchuck, PI); and Negotiating the Boundaries of Rights and Membership (P. Landolt, PI). Earlier research examined Mexico-U.S. migration, and Latin American community organizing in Canada. Her publications address citizenship and noncitizenship, immigrant employment precarity, and transnational migration.
Patricia Landolt is Professor and Chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Her research examines the production and reproduction of systems of social exclusion and inequality associated with global migrations. Specific themes include: refugee-migrant political incorporation, precarious work and income insecurity, non-citizenship and precarious legal status. Professor Landolt’s previous SSHRC-funded project (2011-13) examined the ways that the Ontario public education system practices inclusion and exclusion in the context of encounters with precarious status migrants.
