Bronwyn Bragg

Bronwyn is a human geographer specializing in migration, feminist political economy, and precarious work. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Lethbridge. Bronwyn is the principal investigator on a SSHRC Insight Development Grant titled Slaughterhouse geographies: Comparing the integration experiences of refugee workers in Canadian meatpacking towns. This research addresses the intentional geographies of the Canadian meatpacking industry and the lives of former refugees, now Canadian permanent residents, who do this precarious work. This project builds on previous research which worked with community partners to examine the conditions of work facing immigrant, migrant and refugee workers in Alberta’s meatpacking industry. Bronwyn also has a book under contract with McGill-Queen's University Press on the integration experiences of Syrian refugee women and families in Canada.
