Translocal meaning making: Examining the information practices of migrants from the Philippines to Winnipeg

Abstract

ABSTRACT This poster describes the process of translocal meaning making, a set of information practices by which newcomers from the Philippines to Winnipeg, Canada, came to make sense of and operate within the Winnipeg information context. It describes how newcomers constructed meaning as they migrated to Winnipeg, encountering and incorporating diverse, complex, and often contradictory information and information resources into their daily lives as they migrated and settled in an unknown information context. This 5 step process demonstrates that migrants' information practices are more dynamic, fluid, and iterative than articulated in previous studies that examine the information practices of migrants.
