  Big Thinking\n\nAssociation: Federation for the Humanities and Social Sci
 ences\n\nAccess Level: General public\n\nDescription: There is no longer a
 ny basis, other than history, for saying  that settler societies are dif
 ferent in regard to migration than other  Western liberal democracies.  In
 stead, a global convergence in migration  policies has emerged, and with
  it a new, mean-spirited, politics of  immigration. This change is vital
 ly important at a time when the global pace  of migration is higher than e
 ver, and migration aspirations even higher.  It  is now evident that the 
 idea of a settler society, previously an important  landmark in understan
 ding migration, is a thing of the past. What are the consequences of this
  change for how we imagine immigration?   And for how we regulate it?  In 
 her Big Thinking lecture, Trudeau Fellow  Catherine Dauvergne examines ke
 y dimensions of this dramatic shift in the  response to the movement of pe
 ople – dimensions such as the crisis of  asylum, the fear of fundamental 
 Islam, and the demise of multiculturalism.   She also stakes out the cont
 ours of the new politics of immigration in a post  post-colonial era, whe
 re the values of both settlement and society are lost,  and immigration r
 egulation proceeds as if the past were unknown. See here for additional in
 formation about Catherine Dauvergne, compiled by  Brock University Librar

 lable via cell phone. The video of the Big Thinking lecture is now availab
