Régine Debrosse
Régine Debrosse
Born and raised in cosmopolitan Montreal, I had the opportunity to witness first-hand, the culture shock that many immigrants face and the delicate balance that ensures harmonious multiculturalism. A curiosity for issues of identity, diversity and intergroup relations grew out of my experiences, and this eventually drove me to pursue doctoral research at McGill University. In the future, I hope to contribute to the academic literature on minority issues and influence related public policies.
