Did you ever wake up at night and wonder why Trump is the favored son of the Evangelical right? After all, he has proven he barely knows the Bible. Professor and Chair of the Department of Theological Studies at Concordia University in Montreal, Andre Gagne, explains in his book entitled "Evangelicals for Trump: Dominion, Spiritual Warfare, and the End Times" how the New Apostolic Reformation is working on a movement featuring the Political Theology of Power, with a strategy for Christians should take dominion over every aspect of society -- political, social, and cultural institutions.

It’s an unusual circumstance for the President of the Association for Continuing Higher Education (ACHE) (https://www.linkedin.com/company/ache-continuing-ed/posts/?feedView=all ) to not only be the event owner, but also a skilled event designer. Discover how Patti Spaniola, CED+ and ACHE President (https://www.linkedin.com/in/patti-spaniola-cmp-ced/) turned over the design of the 86th Annual ACHE International Conference to Bryan Best, CED (https://www.linkedin.com/in/brobest/) and Sherry Blok (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherry-blok-m-a-a0a14286/ ) to create a joyful, collaborative and educational conference that participants were truly inspired to be a part of. Not only did Sherry and Bryan design and execute a meaningful event that stayed true to Patti’s desired behavior changes, they empowered their team of volunteers to create a magical experience that was perfect in every way. When the event owner says she wouldn’t change one single detail, that is bona fide success!

Sherry Blok + Patti Spaniola + Bryan Best #DESIGNtoCHANGE ONStage PODcast with Ruud Janssen

This episode of Migrant Ethnographies features a conversation between our host, Nathan Ferguson, and Grace Davis and Eric Jarvis, two members of the Jewish General Hospital’s Cultural Consultation Service (CCS). We speak about a unique form of patient-centered ethnography practiced at the CCS, one which blends the practical toolkit of psychiatry with the conceptual resources of anthropology. We also speak about the origins of the consultation service in McGill University’s Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry, and we discuss how this interdisciplinary subfield of psychiatric medicine provides the foundations for a new approach to clinical interviews — especially in its keen sensitivity to structural conditions and social contexts. 

What does it mean for an institution to solicit narrative history from migrants and their communities? How can this effort in meaning-making be therapeutic or empowering? How can it be coercive and traumatizing? And what steps can be taken to improve it?

Migrant Ethnographies is a new semi-academic podcast featuring qualitative research on migration. Through stories, practices, and grounded theories, Migrant Ethnographies explores the lived realities of migration and the evolving journey of ethnographic research. Each podcast episode is recorded by a Concordia University graduate student who works on a topic related to migration with guidance from Dr. Deniz Duruiz.  

Special thanks to the Ethnography Lab and the Milieux Institute at Concordia University for providing access to the recording equipment used in this episode. We’re also grateful to Erik Ziomko, a Montreal-based artist, for our podcast’s theme music, Respect, which is available on SoundCloud.

Davis has been involved for two years with the Cultural Consultation Service’s interdisciplinary case conferences. In her contributions to these conferences, she helps the consultation team build their understanding of patients’ experiences and predicaments, through a sensitivity to relevant social contexts and structures. As well as her academic and professional knowledge, she also accesses her own lived experience, as a senior citizen who is a visible minority, and an immigrant of several countries who is multilingual and well versed in various cultures.

G. Eric Jarvis, MD, MSc, is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University and Director of the Cultural Consultation Service. He also directs the Culture and Early Psychosis Program at the Jewish General Hospital. His academic and research interests include the cultural adaptation of services for early psychosis, linguistic barriers in mental health care, and religion and mental health.

Through stories, practices, and grounded theories, Migrant Ethnographies  explores the lived realities of migration and the evolving journey of ethnographic research. Each podcast episode is recorded by a Concordia University graduate student who works on a topic related to migration, with guidance from Dr. Deniz Duruiz. 

Migrant Ethnographies emphasizes qualitative research methods and ethnography and features conversations with the authors of recently published work and reflections on the research processes for ongoing projects on migration. The guests include Principal Investigators (PIs), graduate and undergraduate research assistants (RAs), community activists, artists, musicians, and other researchers who employ ethnographic and qualitative research methods. As is often the case with ethnographic work, the podcast goes beyond a simple description of experiences and events, incorporating theory and analysis presented in accessible language for a broader public audience.

The title, Migrant Ethnographies, reflects both ethnographies centered on migrants—most of which are multi-sited—and the evolving journey of an ethnographic project as it migrates through different phases, from planning and research to writing and public dissemination.

The project is funded by Concordia University’s Faculty Research Development Program and hosted at the Institute for Research on Migration and Society (IRMS) at Concordia University in Tiohtià:ke, Montréal. Tiohtià:ke is located in unceded Indigenous lands and has historically served as a meeting place for many First Nations. The members of the Kanien’kehá:ka nation are the custodians of this land.
