Stacey Wilson-Forsberg is associate professor in the Human Rights and Human Diversity program at Wilfrid Laurier University and current co-chair of the Grand Erie Local Immigration Partnership. Stacey's research examines the experiences of recent immigrants in small cities, towns, and rural
areas across Canada, and how these newcomers gradually become involved in their communities and build relationships across ethnic groups. She is especially interested in the experiences of immigrant youth, immigrants from Latin America, and populations with precarious immigration status.
