RUNNING HEAD: Aging in the Context of Immigration and Care Labour RUNNING HEAD: Aging in the context of immigration and care labour Aging in the context of immigration and care labour: The experiences of older Filipinos in Canada A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a Ph.D. in Social Work Ilyan Ferrer School of Social Work McGill University, Montreal JUNE 2018 © Ilyan Ferrer, 2018 Abstract This doctoral dissertation examines how the intersections of immigration, labour, and care impact the late life experiences of older Filipinos in Canada. A critical ethnography was adopted to understand the interplay of lived experiences, identities, and policies (specifically related to retirement, aging, and immigration). Extended observations and in-depth semi-structured interviews with 18 older people, 6 adult children, and 13 community stakeholders identified the structural barriers that impinged on everyday experiences of aging within the Filipino Canadian diaspora living in Montreal. Several themes emerged including (1) the disjuncture between discourses on immigration and migration and the ways in which older racialized newcomers are welcomed into Canadian society, (2) the intersections between immigration and retirement policies and their impact on older Filipina women engaged in domestic work, and (3) the ways in which Filipino older adults provide and receive care in intergenerational and transnational settings in response to the paucity and scarcity of formal resources. The findings of this study offer new knowledge about the impact of immigration and labour policies on the lived experiences of aging and care practices among older members of racialized and immigrant communities in the Global North generally, and within Filipino communities in Canada specifically. This study concludes by proposing key recommendations related to social work policy, practice, and research in the field of aging and immigration. Keywords: aging, Filipino Canadian diaspora, intersectional life course, intersectionality, care, labour, immigration and migration ii Résumé Cette dissertation doctorale examine de quelles manières les intersections entre l’immigration, le travail et les soins ont un impact sur la vie tardive des Philippin.e.s âgé.e.s au Canada. Une ethnographie critique fût adoptée pour comprendre la réciprocité des expériences vécues, des identités et des politiques (spécifiquement liées à la retraite, au vieillissement et à l’immigration). Des nombreuses observations et des entrevues approfondies semi-structurées avec 18 personnes âgées, 6 enfants adultes et 13 intervenant.e.s communautaires ont identifié les barrières structurelles qui empiètent sur les expériences quotidiennes de vieillissement au sein de la diaspora Philippin-Canadienne vivant à Montréal. Plusieurs thématiques ont émergé incluant (1) la rupture entre les discours sur l’immigration, la migration, ainsi que les manières dont les personnes racisées âgées sont accueillies dans la société canadienne, (2) les intersections entre l’immigration et les politiques de retraite et leurs impacts sur les femmes Philippines âgées œuvrant dans le travail domestique, et (3) les façons dont les Philippin.e.s adultes plus âgé.e.s fournissent et reçoivent des soins dans des contextes intergénérationnels et transnationaux en réponse à la pénurie et à la rareté de ressources formelles. Les résultats de cette étude offrent un nouveau savoir sur les impacts de l’immigration et des politiques de travail sur les expériences vécues du vieillissement et des pratiques de soins parmi les membres les plus âgé.e.s des communautés immigrantes racisées du Nord global en général, ainsi qu’à l’intérieur des communautés Philippines au Canada spécifiquement. Cette étude se conclut en proposant des recommandations clefs liées aux politiques, pratiques et recherches en travail social dans le domaine du vieillissement et de l’immigration. Mots Clefs : vieillissement, diaspora Philippin-Canadienne, parcours de vie intersectionnel, travail, immigration et migration iii Preface This dissertation is a manuscript-based thesis. Four chapters (3, 6, 7, 8) have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9 are traditional dissertation chapters that I wrote to complete the requirements of the dissertation. Chapter 3, which provides the theoretical paradigm of this dissertation was co-authored with Amanda Grenier, Shari Brotman, and Sharon Koehn. I was primary author for this manuscript, and responsible for analyzing, writing and editing the draft and eventual publication. My co-authors contributed their suggestions and edits on the manuscript’s content and structure. Chapter 3 was published in 2017 in the Journal of Aging Studies (Ferrer, Grenier, Brotman & Koehn, 2017). The findings for this dissertation study have been developed for publications in three peer reviewed journals. Chapters 6 and 7 are sole-authored publications in the International Journal of Migration, Health and Social Care (Ferrer, 2015), and the Canadian Journal on Aging (Ferrer, 2017) respectively. The final findings chapter, (Chapter 8), was a co-authored manuscript in which I was first author with Shari Brotman and Amanda Grenier acting as co- authors. I was responsible for analyzing, writing and editing the full manuscript. My co-authors contributed their suggestions and edits to content and structure. This manuscript was published in the Journal of Gerontological Social Work in 2017 (Ferrer, Brotman & Grenier, 2017). All the elements of the thesis are considered original scholarship and make distinct contributions to social gerontological and social work scholarship. This degree was completed with the support of research fellowships from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Fonds de Recherche Québec - Société et Culture (FQRSC), and the Centre de Recherche et d’Expertise en Gérontologie Sociale (CREGES). iv Acknowledgements To my participants: Thank you for sharing your experiences and words of wisdom.

  • Fragrant Cooking Midnight
    Simple Cooking ISSUE NO. 85 FIVE DOLLARS Cooking Midnight Uncooked, rice is called mai; cooked, it is fan. Once cooked, W rice was traditionally taken as food at least three times each day, first for jo chan, or early meal, either as congee or, if the weather was cool, cooked and served with a spoonful of liquid lard, soy sauce, and an egg. To eat rice is to sik fan, o and there is, in addition to those morning preparations, n’fan, or “afternoon rice,” and mon fan, or “evening rice.” There is even a custom called siu yeh, which translates K literally as “cooked midnight” and means rice eaten as a late evening snack. No time of any day in China is without its rice. —Eileen Yin-Fei Lo, THE CHINESE KITCHEN Fragrant LTHOUGH THERE’S NO EXACT EQUIVALENT, the closest we T WAS MY GRANDFATHER Who introduced me to the world come in this country to the casual everyday eat- of Chinese restaurants, at least as they were in the Aing experience of the Chinese is when we attend I1950s, beguilingly ersatz palaces spun of velvet and a country fair or something like one,where inexpensive, gold.

Abstract The older population in New Zealand is increasingly culturally and ethnically diverse. While the New Zealand Government has acknowledged that these diverse groups of older people have their specific ageing processes, needs and expectations, there is a paucity of research conducted to understand their ageing lives and experiences. This research seeks to explore the experiences of ageing among older Chinese migrants through the lens of subjective wellbeing. Specifically, it looks into older Chinese migrants’ experiences of happiness, struggles and challenges while they are ageing in New Zealand. Particular consideration is given to the role the self plays in the creation, restoration and preservation of a sense of happiness in old age. In-depth narrative interviews were conducted with fourteen older Chinese migrants from diverse backgrounds. The analysis was informed by the dialogical self theory, Chinese philosophical perspectives of yin/yang and harmony, Chinese conceptions of happiness and the self and narrative methodology to focus on the dynamics of the self, through which a theoretical link between the self and human experience of happiness is developed.

Mahjong Horse racing may get all the media attention, but mahjong (麻雀 ma jeuk) also forms an integral part of Hong Kong gambling culture. Mahjong also has had a strong influence on Hong Kong pop culture, with a history of songs and films based on a mahjong theme. The game played in Hong Kong is the Cantonese version, which differs in rules and scoring from the Japanese version or the versions played in other parts of China. Mahjong parlors are ubiquitous in Hong Kong, though they do not advertise their services openly and many require a fair amount of effort to find. II. Why Hong Kong people Hate Being Called Chinese? When you ask Hong Kong people where are they from, you will get a very typical answer of “I’m from Hong Kong”. You barely hear them say “I’m a Chinese”. Even though Hong Kong has been returned to the sovereignty of China for almost 14 years, Hong Kong people still consider themselves separately from Chinese regarding language, culture and living standard. Why don’t Hong Kong people think of themselves as Chinese? What’s wrong with being a Chinese for them?
