Indigenous communities are warning of how unabated resource extraction threatens to expose them to coronavirus and further structural violence. As borders close to combat the disease, temporary foreign workers face special challenges. Migrants are still sitting in Canada’s prisons, considered hotbeds of infection for coronavirus. Join a panel to learn more about the coloniality of coronavirus and what is being done to combat inequalities and promote a more just pandemic/post-pandemic response.\n\nPanelists:\nAjay Parasram is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of International Development Studies and History at Dalhousie University on unceded Mi’kmaq Territory. Ajay will discuss how the coronavirus exacerbates the colonial matrix of power by way of laying bare the inhumanity of 21st century capitalist and settler-colonial ethics.\nSyed Hussan is the executive director of Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, and a member of the Migrant Rights Network. Hussan will discuss the status of immigrant detention in Canada and what is being done to protect migrants in a time of COVID.\nConnie Sorio is a migrant community activist and seasoned organizer with KAIROS. She is an advocate for the rights and welfare of temporary foreign workers in Canada, particularly those under the Live-in Caregiver Program.
