Working Groups
Immigration Working Group
The purpose of this group is to provide opportunities for faculty to get together and discuss ideas for research about immigration in an informal setting. Our meetings often involve a discussion of selected readings, a new data source, or a short presentation of some preliminary (or not so preliminary) research findings followed by discussion.
