Catherine Bryan is an assistant professor at the School of Social Work, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. She completed her PhD in Social Anthropology at Dalhousie and has a BA Honours in Women’s Studies from the University of Winnipeg, and a BSW and MSW from McGill University. She has been actively involved in a number of mobility-focused research projects including work on the flight and resettlement experiences of separated and unaccompanied refugee children in Canada; the Provincial Nominee Programs of Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and British Columbia; and the pre-departure experiences of soon-to-be migrants in the Philippines.
While completing her PhD, Catherine was an affiliated trainee with the On the Move Partnership. Interested in the political economy of place and the relationship between productive and reproductive labour processes, her PhD research explored the intersection of diverse mobilities in and between Manitoba and the Philippines – mobilities that are at once contemporary and historic, local and transnational, and permanent and temporary.
