Welcome

Welcome to the blog space of the Migration Law Research Cluster (MLRC) located at the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Law. Created in 2013, the MLRC is engaged in research on the intersections between law and migration, including the areas of immigration law and policy, refugee law and policy and migrant settlement and resettlement. The MLRC seeks to build knowledge and understanding in these areas and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and community engagement.

The MLRC’s founding members are Gerald Heckman, Amar Khoday and Shauna Labman. Through this blog space, members will share, amongst other things, short commentaries or reflections on various matters connected to migration law. This may include posts on legislative and policy developments, judgments by courts and administrative decision-makers, as well as scholarly contributions of academics writing on issues of migration law. While rooted in Canada, our posts may also examine and explore developments taking place internationally and in other countries.
