I am currently an Erasmus Mundus student doing my second year of Master entitled "Transnational Migrations". I am very interested in immigrants settled abroad, more specifically individuals coming from South America. I have studied the Peruvian population in Brussels focusing on cultural transmission and identity formation and am currently studying the role of the church in the integration process of South American immigrants living in Wroclaw (Poland).

Furthermore, she aims to illustrate the actions large and small that refugee women take to become active participants in their resettlement in Portugal.

Prior to her studies, Lana engaged in contract work for the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, held the position of Refugee Case Manager for an Immigration Consultant, and worked as an English as a Second Language Teacher. Prior to this, she worked as a Program Manager for a micro-finance organization in Nicaragua, People Helping People Global (PHPG), and as a research assistant for the Centre for Mediation, Peace and Resolution of Conflict (CEMPROC) in Ecuador.

Michael Gordon is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Wilfrid Laurier University’s International Migration Research Centre (IMRC).
