  University Profile

Dr. Stacey Wilson-Forsberg is a Professor in the Human Rights program at Wilfrid Laurier University and outgoing Director of the Tshepo Institute for the Study of Contemporary Africa. Her research and much of her teaching focus on migration and multiculturalism. She is especially interested in the experiences of youth with refugee backgrounds in schools and the labour market, and migrants with precarious immigration status in North America, Africa, and Latin America. Her ongoing research in Canada includes a SSHRC IG-Funded national study of the transition to postsecondary education of African refugee youth in partnership with community organizations across Canada. Dr. Wilson-Forsberg’s international ethnographic research with migrants has revolved around themes of social exclusion, belonging, identity, coping and solidarity. It includes an arts-based study of the use of murals to help refugee claimants cope with the long wait for asylum and a new book with Laurier colleague Dr. Abderrahman Beggar called “Perilous Journeys and the Stranded Condition: Life Stories of Sub-Saharan Migrants in Morocco.”
