Older refugees are widely recognized as one of the most at-risk populations living with multiple intersecting barriers of political insecurity, financial insolvency, and poor health. Drawing upon secondary literature, this review essay builds upon a critique of multiculturalism to argue that the successful integration of older refugees is a two-way process. This process includes: 1) refugees making active attempts to embed themselves into Canadian society, and; 2) government facilitating conditions to help refugees integrate. The social integration of refugee elders is not a personal issue. It is a public problem that requires active government intervention via generous universal benefits. I use the life-course theoretical perspective to undertake an analysis of public policies and existing research to identify structural determinants of older refugees’ integration.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) explicitly denies newly arrived documented and undocumented immigrants health insurance coverage, effectively making them the largest remaining uninsured segment of the U.S. population. Using mixed qualitative methods, our original research illustrates the health consequences experienced by uninsured, disabled undocumented immigrants as they navigate what they describe as an apartheid health care system. Critiquing the notion of immigrants as “public charges” or burdens on the system, our qualitative analysis focuses on Houston Health Action, a community-based organization led by and for undocumented, low-income disabled immigrants in Houston, Texas. Engaging a critical migration and critical disabilities studies framework, we use this valuable case to highlight contemporary contradictions in health care and immigration legislation and the embodied consequences of the intersecting oppressions of race, ability, immigration status, and health care access.
《平价医疗法案》(Affordable Care Act, ACA)明确拒绝为新抵达的有证和无证移民提供医疗保险,这实际上使他们成为美国人口中最大的未参保群体。使用混合定性方法,我们的原始研究说明了没有保险的残疾无证移民在他们所描述的种族隔离医疗体系中所经历的健康后果。批评移民是“公共负担”或系统负担的概念,我们的定性分析侧重于休斯顿健康行动,这是一个由德克萨斯州休斯顿的无证低收入残疾移民领导并为其服务的社区组织。采用关键的移民和关键的残疾研究框架,我们使用这个有价值的案例来突出当代医疗保健和移民立法中的矛盾,以及种族、能力、移民身份和医疗保健获取等交叉压迫的具体后果。

In an attempt to decolonize Trauma Studies, a dominant mental health discourse, and to expand our understanding of trauma and post-traumatic growth, this project investigates J.M.G. Le Clézio’s The African (L’africain 2004) and Ahmadou Kourouma’s: Allah is Not Obliged 2011) (Allah n’est pas obligé 2000) and the untranslated and unfinished Quand on refuse on dit non (2004). The term “decolonizing Trauma Studies” refers to a remapping of this particular field of Cultural Theory by studying these non-Western “trauma novels”. The first critical suggestion advanced is that these authors explore the traumatic consequences of lies that are ontological and phenomenological in nature and maintained through language (logos). This research then examines Le Clézio’s and Kourouma’s models of healing, which centre on the body, language, and an empathetic re-encounter with the traumatized self through narratives. Another major finding is that these texts experiment with literature, manipulating it into new forms, thus expanding our understanding of the relationship between the literary arts and post-traumatic growth theories and treatments.
为了将创伤研究(一种主流的心理健康话语)去殖民化,并扩大我们对创伤和创伤后成长的理解,本项目调查了J.M.G. Le clacimzio的《非洲人》(L 'africain 2004)和Ahmadou Kourouma的《真主没有义务》(2011)(《真主没有义务》2000)和未翻译和未完成的Quand on refuse on dit non(2004)。“非殖民化创伤研究”一词指的是通过研究这些非西方的“创伤小说”来重新映射这一特定的文化理论领域。提出的第一个关键建议是,这些作者探讨了谎言的创伤后果,这些谎言本质上是本体论和现象学的,并通过语言(逻各斯)维持。本研究随后考察了Le clacimzio和Kourouma的治疗模式,这些模式以身体、语言和通过叙述与受创伤的自我进行同理心的重新相遇为中心。另一个主要发现是,这些文本对文学进行了实验,将其操纵成新的形式,从而扩大了我们对文学艺术与创伤后成长理论和治疗之间关系的理解。

There is a doggedly persistent, pervasive, and pernicious tendency to individualize ratherthan socialize problems. This is a discernable pattern that we see all around us,independent of any one particular social context. This collaboratively produced article isan example of and commitment to feminist praxis. We intentionally mobilize the “toolsof social science, friendship, and the power of conversation” (Mountz, 2016) to bring tolife ideas that Mehdia experienced for the first time in Laura’s undergraduate classroom.Specifically, she and fellow classmates, along with Maryam, learned how to cultivate andemploy their “sociological imagination” (Mills, 1959, 2000); connecting aspects ofbiography with materially arising social conditions. The aim of such inquiry is togenerate new insights and critically minded, contextually situated, and empiricallysupported explications for how things happen for and around us in the world we inhabit.In doing so, we are able to “sociologically reimagine” analysis by using visual modes ofinquiry and intentional “interdisciplinary entanglement” to blur the boundaries betweentraditional and so-called non-traditional modes of knowledge making (Jungnickel &Hjorth, 2014). We argue that the time is absolutely upon us to “commit sociology,”[1]and we offer this article as an intervention that does just this. [1] As per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yT9dhHsKwc
