  • Immigrant Spirituality and Canadian Religion
    Immigrants and Canadian Religions SMH 6874/3874 Canada is a nation of immigrants, and Canadian religions are the religions of immigrants. The waves of immigrants to Canada will be studied including the 17C French, 18C Irish and Scottish, 19C German, Polish, Jewish, and Ukrainian immigrants; 20C English, Italian, and Portuguese to the more recent Caribbean, Filipino, Chinese, Tamil, Vietnamese, and Korean religionists. The attitudes of Anglo-Canadians will be examined as they progress from Anglo-Celtic Calvinism to Canadian secular multiculturalism. Source Materials Abella, Irving M.

  • The Inheritance of Trauma Mitigating the Stresses of Forced Migration and Immigrant Integration
    The Inheritance of Trauma Mitigating the Stresses of Forced Migration and Immigrant Integration By Vino Wijeyasuriyar Social Connectedness Fellow 2018 Samuel Centre for Social Connectedness www.socialconnectedness.org August 2018 ABSTRACT My research found that the roots of intergenerational trauma in the Tamil Canadian community can be traced back to the conflict of the Sri Lankan civil war, but that this trauma was further compounded by the refugee process. Refugees were forced to endure the loss of the home they had always known, followed immediately by strict requirements to prove both their identity and their desperation for asylum, culminating in sustained anxiety about attracting negative attention or being branded as a “bad immigrant.” Refugees pass these self- monitoring anxieties onto their children in small ways, by limiting the sort of activities their child participates in, or restricting how outspoken they become about issues in their motherland. These confusing limitations and inherited fears are only further complicated by the absence of open discourse about emotions that appears to persist within refugee families. My recommendations include working actively to welcome and integrate refugees into local communities, empowering youth groups to create peer-matching programs that help first generation students achieve the same access to campus resources that someone with university-educated parents would, and encouraging governments to make small adjustments to the immigration and asylum-seeking process in order to create more warmth and care in a system that deals largely with vulnerable populations. 1 INTRODUCTION My fellowship is focused on exploring the presence and pervasiveness of intergenerational trauma, particularly through the lens of how trauma can be transmitted from forced migrants and refugees who fled regions of conflict to subsequent generations born into entirely different circumstances.

  • Understanding Social Inclusion from the Perspectives of Tamil Seniors and Service Providers in the Greater Toronto Area
    Understanding Social Inclusion from the Perspectives of Tamil Seniors and Service Providers in the Greater Toronto Area Thrmiga Sathiyamoorthy A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirement for Degree of Masters of Arts Graduate Program in Interdisciplinary Studies York University Toronto, Ontario June 2018 © Thrmiga Sathiyamoorthy, 2018 Abstract Understanding Tamil seniors’ perspectives on social inclusion in the Greater Toronto Area is critical to inform programs and policies. The researcher engaged with 27 Tamil seniors and 13 service providers using Concept Mapping and Focus Groups. The facilitators identified by seniors in Concept Mapping sessions created a seven-cluster map: family harmony; medical system; adaptation/integration; cultural-interaction; social-interaction; financial-independence; and services for employment/settlement. The critical interpretation of the map reveals seniors’ emphasis on structural (e.g. old age security) and cultural (e.g. familism) dimensions. Focus Groups participants reviewed the map and their discussion on program changes focused on: reframing service delivery; culture and long-term care homes; funding/other challenges; and oblique references to socially sensitive topics. While seniors suggested necessary changes in their families, the Tamil community, and mainstream society, they remained reluctant to impose expectations on the service providers. The findings warrant more conversations between seniors and service providers, as well as inter-sectoral approaches to improve program delivery. ii This thesis is dedicated to my mother, Sumithra Sathiyamoorthy. It is because of your countless sacrifices, unconditional love, and tenacious spirit that I am in the privileged position to pursue higher education. Your words of wisdom have prepared me to face various life challenges with faith and humility.

Through an in-depth analysis of articles related to the historical Anglicization of immigrant names as well as an analysis of the autoethnographic piece, I argue that the Anglicization of Tamil names amongst the 2nd generation of Sri Lankan Tamils living in Toronto is due to the internalization of deficiency (Y.Guo, 2015) and is done to maintain one’s habitus.

  • Second-Generation Sri Lankan Tamil Womyn Reflect on the 2009 Toronto Tamil Protests
    “I CAN HEAR HER BREATHING…”: SECOND-GENERATION SRI LANKAN TAMIL WOMYN REFLECT ON THE 2009 TORONTO TAMIL PROTESTS NAYANI THIYAGARAJAH A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2015 © NAYANI THIYAGARAJAH, 2015 ABSTRACT Public activism in the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora was demonstrated by the mass protests held in Toronto in 2009, in the months leading to the end of civil war Sri Lanka. Following the protests, research focusing on increased transnational participation, public performance of Tamil identities, and personal post-war feelings has emerged. Still, very little attention has been given to self- identified womyn’s narratives and reflections. This paper and film focus on the experiences of second-generation Sri Lankan Tamil womyn1, speaking specifically to gendered diasporic imaginations, subjectivities, and possible transformations produced through participation or non- participation in the 2009 protests. It argues how both protest and silence, in a transnational context, work to disrupt narratives of nationhood suggested by Canada, Sri Lanka, and the former de-facto state of Tamil Eelam. 1 womyn: an alternative spelling for the traditionally used “women” and “woman” without the suffix “men” or “man”, ii DECLARATION OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that I am the sole author of this thesis and that no part of this thesis has been published or submitted for publication.

  • Youth Pathways in Articulated Postsecondary Systems: Enrolment and Completion Patterns of Urban Young Women and Men*
    The Canadian Journal of Higher Education La revue canadienne d'enseignement supérieur Volume XXIX, No. 1,1999 pages 47-46 Youth Pathways in Articulated Postsecondary Systems: Enrolment and Completion Patterns of Urban Young Women and Men* LESLEY ANDRES & HARVEY KRAHN The University of British Columbia & University of Alberta ABSTRACT This paper uses panel survey data to document the postsecondary educational activity of high school graduates in Edmonton and Vancouver over a five-year period. It enquires whether, in "articulated" postsec- ondary systems offering a range of institutional choices and a variety of transfer options, large class and gender differences in participation and completion continue to be observed. The results reveal that even in sys- tems explicitly designed to improve access to and encourage completion of postsecondary programs, family background continues to strongly influence postsecondary outcomes. In both cities, social class advantages appear to be passed from one generation to the next, to a large extent, through the high school tracking system, since high school academic pro- gram is a strong predictor of postsecondary participation and completion. Gender also continues to matter, but in more subtle ways than in the past. * The authors would like to thank several anonymous reviewers for this journal for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of this paper. We wish to acknowledge the sup- port received from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada in the form of a strategic research grant in the theme area of Education and Work in a Changing Society. The grant has enabled the co-investigators to develop a collabora- tive network in order to compare and contrast their longitudinal data sets.
