CNS12: Audrey Macklin – Making and Remaking Canadian Citizens through Refugee Sponsorship

In Teil 12 der Videoreihe "Canadian Network Spotlights" fasst Audrey Macklin, Professorin der Rechtswissenschaften an der University of Toronto, eine Online Vorlesung gleichen Titels zusammen, die im März 2021 vom Institut für italienisches Recht in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ZKS organisiert wurde. Prof. Macklin untersucht aus der Perspektive kanadischer Sponsor*innen das 'Private Refugee Sponsorship', die private Flüchtlingspatenschaft, die neben dem von öffentlicher Hand finanzierten 'Public Resettlement' eine der Möglichkeiten darstellt, Flüchtlinge in Kanada aufzunehmen. Anstatt primär zu fragen, wie die Aufnahme von Geflüchteten diese zu Bürger*innen macht, analysiert sie, wie die Neuansiedlung und Eingliederung von Flüchtlingen die Staatsbürgerschaft der Kanadier*innen umgestaltet. Wer sponsert Geflüchtete? Warum? Was sind die Auswirkungen des Sponsorships auf die Sponsor*innen und die kanadische Gesellschaft?
