For over a decade Nimo Bokore’s research focused on immigrant and refugee resettlement in Canada. Her latest study explores how Canadian-Somali women conceptualize war trauma, forced migration, and how these circumstances influence their later resettlement process. She is currently collaborating with other teams on projects such as: (1)“Emerging voices: how Syrian newcomers and other key stakeholders perceive Canada’s three sponsorship programs for refugee (re)settlement” funded by the Social Science And Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Connection Grant (2) “Finding a Space for Me Outside of the Stereotypes: Creating an Action Plan to Promote Immigrant Women’s Wellbeing through Activism” funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) and Women’s College Hospital Women’s Xchange project fund. As well she continues to publish on the impact of wars, forced migration, refugees, trauma, transference of trauma, resettlement and integration. She is now organizing the first multidisciplinary colloquium on Somali Studies at Carleton University- see the link: https://somalistudiesblog.wordpress.com/
