| Centre for Migration Studies-Sector Research Collaborations Day 2024The UBC Centre for Migration Studies (CMS), AMSSA (Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC), and UBC Connects hosted the 2024 CMS-Sector Research Collaborations Day, an annual event designed to bring together migration researchers and professionals in the immigration and settlement field. The event was for those interested in considering migration research through a decolonial lens and building mutually beneficial connections between CMS researchers and BC’s settlement sector.
The public session took place in the morning, with a separate add-on registration for the more focused afternoon session. The morning session featured a panel presentation and moderated discussion with three guest speakers. Together, they explored the critical questions and paradoxes that arise when trying to engage in decolonizing actions while navigating Eurocentric systems.
In the afternoon session, which was for sector professionals and university affiliates who wanted to build connections, CMS showcased ways it can support the sector’s research needs. This was followed by a Speed Networking activity where participants could connect, share ideas, and explore potential research collaborations.
81 people attended. | Activity | 2025-11-13 | |

| AMSSAThe Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC (AMSSA) – while the partnership at large with UBC CMS has been evolving for many years, in 2025, it has grown stronger through the Belonging on Unceded Territories research project. The most recent meeting was on November 14, 2025, upon the invitation for Cultural Facilitator Sussan Yanez to curate their AMSSATalks recorded podcast, in which Dr. Hereditary Chief Janice George will also participate, along other Indigenous elders to discuss the topic of the Relational Methodology which has been embodied in the project. | Partnership | 2025-11-14 | Winnie Chironga |
| Museum of VancouverWe partnered with the MOV to screen the film in their facilities since the museum sits on the ancestral village of Sen̓áḵw. They helped in-kind with the event page creation and registration, as well with security on site, and other production necessities, such as tables and chairs, and the setting and take-down of the room, as well as waiving their room-rental fee.
