Field Trip EP 3: How Migration Status Impacts Health and Healthcare of Refugees?

Season 1

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 • Duration 20:26

In this episode of our mini-series, we talk to Dr. Elif Sari about how the notion of “becoming sick” is related to people’s migration experiences, especially those who are part of the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community. Dr. Sari discusses how this notion is rooted in the idea of harsh working environments and discriminatory practices of healthcare. She also addressed how both of these factors contribute to the emotional and physical wellbeing of these people.

Guest bio:

Dr. Elif Sari is a queer feminist anthropologist, a new faculty member in the UBC Department of Anthropology, and an uninvited immigrant settler on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation. She completed her Ph.D. (2021) in anthropology at Cornell University with a concentration in feminist, gender, and sexuality studies. After graduate school, Dr. Sari spent one year at the University of Toronto, where she had a chance to work in the Queer and Trans Research Lab as the Martha LA McCain postdoctoral fellow. Currently, she is working on her first book manuscript, which is an engaged ethnography of queer and trans asylum from the Middle East to North America. She is also excited to start two new research projects, one focusing on private refugee sponsorship in Canada and one exploring the connections between migration, sexuality, and art (particularly drag).

Field Trip mini-series Trailer

Season 1

Thursday, September 1, 2022 • Duration 01:04

We’re taking a field trip away from our regular Women’s Health Interrupted content to bring you a special mini series!

Hosted by Dr. Marina Adshade and Damara Featherstone, this mini-series aims to find out what every women’s health researcher should know about socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic status is a combination of economic factors—like income, education and occupation—and social factors including gender, race, country of origin, and much more. By talking with experts in the arts and humanities, we will get to the bottom of this question, and show how important it is that we all work together, to improve women’s health.

Join us every second Wednesday of the month starting September 14th for 5 information packed episodes!
