On November 20, 2025, the Centre for Human Rights Research and the Department of Sociology and Criminology (Faculty of Arts) at the University of Manitoba hosted Dr. Christina Clark-Kazak for a lecture titled “Bordering on Age Discrimination: A Social Age Analysis of Canada’s Immigration Policy.”

In this lecture, Clark-Kazak draws from her forthcoming work on Age and Immigration Policy in Canada: Toward an Equitable Approach (UBC Press, 2026) where she uses a social age analysis to understand how Canadian immigration policies can discriminate on the basis of social age. Her analysis covers a broad range of immigration policies, from the points system to refugee settlement, as well as related areas such as immigration detention.
