Call for research participants: Muslims’ experiences with Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies
The Institute of Islamic Studies (IIS) is seeking people (18 years old and above) to participate in its research on Muslims’ experience with Ontario’s child welfare system, a project within the Structural Islamophobia Research Lab (SiRL)
For the study, the IIS is looking for people who’ve been involved with Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies either personally or professionally.
Personally – Members of Muslim families who have been involved with Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies in the past ten years who would be willing to participate in individual interviews
Professionally – Current or former community and not-for-profit workers who have worked with large Muslim communities as well as current or former Children’s Aid employees who have served large Muslim communities to participate in focus groups
The interviews and focus groups will discuss your experiences with Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies.
Note: All information you share will remain private. Interviews can be held online or in person.
Participants will receive a $50 gift card upon completion of their interview. The study has been approved by the Research Ethics Board.
