Will was also recently awarded a Canadian Law Blog Award (CLawbie) for his blog, Vancouver Immigration Blog, A passionate advocate of Canadian Immigration and Refugee Law, when we told him we were going to write an article to showcase his new award, he simply requested to use the platform to highlight the topic of his paper presented during CBA Immigration Law Online Presentation on June 5, titled : Re-Centering the Resilience and Resistance of Migrant Women of Colour: Exploring the Potential of Intersectionality and Indigenous Approaches to Immigration Appeals.
When presenting his paper on his blog, Will highlighted the need for a judicial system that would look beyond the traditional western-male-privilege structure. He also discussed the possibilities of alternative modes of resolutions by considering Intersectionality and Indigenous approaches.
“This is just a start, but I hope it sparks something or some ideas for needed reform.” – Will Tao
