Biography

Dr. Morgan Poteet is Associate Professor of Sociology at 蜜桃视频 Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. He received his Ph.D. from York University in Toronto in 2012. His dissertation research examined settlement and belonging for the adolescent children of refugees from Central America, in Toronto. His research areas include critical border studies, youth, criminalization, racialization, identity, and belonging. His ongoing research explores the lived experiences of migrant racialized populations in Canada. His current research uses qualitative and arts-based approaches such as Photovoice and Digital Storytelling to explore social memory and current realities among Salvadoran youth in Canada. He has published articles in the Journal of International Migration and Integration and Canadian Ethnic Studies on Central American origin youth in Toronto, co-authored an article and a book chapter on the experiences of international students in Canada, and co-edited a collection of twelve chapters on the dynamics of refugee re-settlement and integration with an international focus. He has consulted for Citizenship and Immigration Canada (now IRCC) on the Youth Host program and more recently on refugee policy in Canada and exhibits on immigrants and refugees at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Poteet teaches courses on youth criminalization; critical border studies; citizenship, identity, and difference; quantitative methods; refugee studies; globalization and human rights. He is past President and currently Director-at- large for the Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS).
