Partnership for Research with African Newcomers

Launched in 2022, the Partnership for Research with African Newcomers (PRAN) is an intersectoral partnership of primarily universities and community-based organizations investigating the experiences of Sub-Saharan African immigrants and refugees (SSAI) in Canada.

Co-funded by SSHRC and PRAN partners, PRAN members are posing new questions and approaches to explore and understand the experiences of SSAI communities, and in this way, contributing to advances in non-Western ways of knowing through feminist, resilience, and Afro-centric theoretical approaches.
