Echoes and Encounters: Exploring Cultural Identity and Memory Across Generations

Summary

This study is about how Immigrants see their culture and how family stories are shared between generations. We want to speak with people in Calgary who have moved from another country or whose family did. In a short interview, you’ll be asked to talk about your life, your family’s story, and what your culture means to you.
