The long-term objective of this project is to set up an accessible, easy-to-use collection of electronically available research material on gender, migration, race, health and citizenship in Canada.

Scholars from a wide range of disciplines in Canada agree it is essential to move away from research and writing that focuses primarily on a white-centered, middle-class approach and to integrate the experiences of a wide range of populations in all research.  In the 1980s research on immigrant women was limited, but since that time a substantial amount of documentation has been written from a variety of disciplinary and ideological perspectives on the life and experiences of immigrant and refugee women in Canada.

By digitizing some of this material, the Centre for Feminist Research hopes to disseminate it in readily accessible formats to researchers (faculty and graduate and undergraduate students), government personnel (e.g., the Ontario's Women's Directorate), and activist immigrant and refugee communities throughout Canada.  Scholars studying feminism, race and ethnicity, immigrants and refugees, racism, and human rights, to name just a few topics, will find thorough and easy access to material from our collection of digitized resources.

Three bibliographies are available in full, in .pdf format for your use. The entries of these bibliographies are accessible by category with abstracts and full-text versions of the articles when available.
