Catherine Bryan is a social anthropologist and associate professor at Dalhousie University’s School of Social Work. Her work focuses on migration, social reproduction, and the socialized welfare under the conditions of capitalist political economy overtime. More specifically, she explores how immigration policy, state welfare regimes, and migrant-dependent labour markets function, often in collaboration, to ensure on-going access to a range of precarious workers. Her work has also explored “skill” as a criterion of migrant inclusion and the strategies deployed by migrants and their families to secure permanent residency.
