The Tajribati project
I am a member of the Tajribati research team, a SSHRC-funded longitudinal investigation led by Dr. Thomas Soehl and Dr. Dietlind Stolle into the settlement experiences of Syrian refugees and their adolescent youth arriving in Canada since 2015.
Our research team is investigating the obstacles and successes encountered by Syrian refugees in Canada in areas such as psychosocial adaptation, labour market integration, and civic engagement.
