Presents a Free Public Seminar

The Socio-Economic Conditions of Iranians in Canada:
A Case Study of Toronto

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006
12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m

Presenter:


Dr. Mahmoud Ketabi, Professor, Political Science, Dept. of Social
Science, University of Isfahan, Iran

Description:

What is the trust level among the Iranian migrants residing in Toronto?

What is the difference between the in-group social trust level (trust
Among Iranians) and the out-group trust level (confidence toward Canadians
living in Toronto)?

To answer these questions a sample of 182 Iranians was interviewed on
the basis of a standardized questionnaire in 2005. The results reveal
that the in-group social trust level is slightly below the average,
whereby the difference from the middle point of the scale is significant
statistically. The results also show that the mean figure for out-group
social trust is significantly higher than the average defined on the scale.

Location:  246 Bloor St. West, 5th Floor, Room 548
(St. George subway station, Bedford Street exit)

This seminar is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
