DESCRIPTION:The Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law welcomes Prof
 essor Sonia Cancian for a talk on migration.\n\nLunch will be served\, so 
 kindly RSVP to oppenheimer [at] mcgill.ca\n\nLife stories and the law are 
 intrinsically connected. We witness this daily both on a micro- and macro-
 scale\, whether at a client’s meeting with her/his lawyer\, in the courtro
 om\, in the creation of binding precedents\, in the diffusion of social an
 d legal awareness\, and among countless other contexts\, in the introducti
 on and implementation of policies and laws. As we consider the recent immi
 gration crisis culminating as I write\, what becomes especially evident is
  that the narratives of migrants and refugees—much like their counter-narr
 atives--shape\, and are shaped by\, social and political awareness and the
  creation of policy and laws. What kinds of stories of refugees and migran
 ts are we talking about here? How do they influence the individual and the
  broader communities\, and vice versa? In what ways do the stories give in
 sight to the shaping of policies and laws?  And\, how do policies influenc
 e the lives of migrants and refugees today and in the past? This seminar w
 ill lead a discussion on life stories of migrants and refugees and their p
 ower (or not) within the world of policy-making and the law.\n\nDr. Sonia 
 Cancian is an associate professor at Zayed University\, Dubai\, United Ara
 b Emirates. She is a migration historian with a special interest in letter
 s and other personal narratives in the fields of gender studies\, history 
 of media\, history of emotions\, memory and the 19th and 20th century hist
 ory of Canada and Italy. \n
