Francophone Canadian immigrants who come from Sub-Saharan Africa rarely benefit from the symbolic capital of speaking French. Instead, they encounter triple marginalization due to living in a minoritized francophone community â€“ because of their race, and by virtue of their French language accent. In partnership with Glendon Campus, this talk will explore the discrimination these immigrants face in the labour market in the Greater Toronto Area as well as their experience working in the francophone health-care and education systems.

Brought to you by 91ÑÇɫ’s Office of Alumni Engagement, the Scholars’ Hub @ Home speaker series features discussions on a broad range of topics, with engaging lectures from some of 91ÑÇɫ’s best and brightest minds. Students, alumni and all members of the community are invited to attend. All sessions take place at noon via Zoom.

Events are held in partnership with Vaughan Public Libraries, Markham Public Library and Aurora Public Library.

³¢â€™Ã©vé²Ô±ð³¾±ð²Ô³Ù&²Ô²ú²õ±è;Next Scholars’ Hub explore la discrimination à laquelle sont confrontés les immigrants francophones afro-canadiens

Pour l’édition du 20 octobre de la série de conférences Scholars’ Hub @ Home, Gertrude Mianda, professeure à Glendon et directrice du Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa and its Diasporas Ã  l’Université 91ÑÇÉ«, animera une discussion sur les immigrants francophones afro-canadiens au sein de la communauté francophone minoritaire.

Les immigrants canadiens francophones originaires d’Afrique subsaharienne bénéficient rarement du capital symbolique que représente le fait de parler français. Ils se heurtent plutôt à une triple marginalisation : en plus de celle liée à leur race et à leur accent français, ils vivent dans une communauté francophone minoritaire. En partenariat avec Glendon, cette conférence explorera la discrimination à laquelle ces immigrants sont confrontés sur le marché du travail dans la région du Grand Toronto ainsi que leur expérience de travail dans les systèmes de santé et d’éducation francophones.

Proposée par le Bureau d’engagement des diplômés de l’Université 91ÑÇÉ«, la série de conférences Scholars’ Hub @ Home propose des discussions sur un large éventail de sujets avec des conférences intéressantes livrées par certains des esprits les plus brillants de 91ÑÇÉ«. Les étudiants et étudiantes, diplômées et diplômés et tous les membres de la communauté sont invités à y assister. Toutes les sessions ont lieu à midi sur Zoom.

Les événements sont organisés en partenariat avec les bibliothèques publiques de Vaughan, Markham et Aurora.

Diversity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is critical; it enables the design of inclusive technologies and innovations that benefit all. Creating equitable opportunities in STEM education for youth will ensure that all students have access to experiences that will help them make informed decisions about their career pathways. In this talk, Cole will share her insights and experiences, and the journey that has led her to 91ÑÇÉ«
