Join us for a thought-provoking talk exploring how assemblage thinking helps us better understand the complex and layered impacts of precarious legal status on self-rated health.
Drawing on data from the CEP survey, Marie-Pier will guide you through compelling findings that show how entrance category continues to shape health outcomes, even after individuals obtain secure status. Together, we will examine how processes of illegalization and the work of status leave lasting imprints on people’s well-being, effects that cannot simply be undone by gaining additional rights and entitlements later on.
This conversation invites you to think beyond legal categories and consider how status operates over time, and what that means for health, policy, and justice.
