Assistant Professor: Florenceville-Bristol and Stacey Wilson-Forsberg

assistant professor: Stacey Wilson-Forsberg, assistant professor in Human Rights and Human Diversity at Wilfrid Laurier University, explored both Florenceville-Bristol and Fredericton between 2009 and 2010, according to CBC. She said despite having fewer services available, the students in Florenceville-Bristol flourished. "They were doing very, very well, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that it was a very homogeneous group," she said. Recent research on the youth immigrant experience in New Brunswick has shown newcomers thrive more in rural settings than in big cities. The youth in Florenceville-Bristol were almost all from Colombia. Research in book Wilson-Forsberg research is documented in her book Getting Used to the Quiet: Immigrant Adolescents' Journey to Belonging in New Brunswick, Canada. Wilson-Forsberg said that caused a critical mash between the students. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
