Concordia launches institute focused on migration, society

Concordia University has officially launched the Institute for Research on Migration and Society (IRMS). This interdisciplinary institute will bring evidence-based scholarship to the discussions around immigration and migration in Canada, focusing on topics such as how immigrants adapt to and improve Canadian society. “This institute brings the great minds and valued programs of study focused on migration at Concordia under one banner,” said Concordia IRMS Director Mireille Paquet. “As the first fully bilingual research hub on migration in Canada, IRMS is uniquely positioned to contribute to knowledge and policy. It can also bridge immigration politics across provinces and with the Government of Canada.”
