Reception to Follow


This all-day conference will examine the politics of race, migration and inclusion from multiple disciplinary perspectives.  Political scientists, historians, sociologists and anthropologists will explore new meanings of race, ethnicity and migration within a transnational context. Focusing on the nature and forms of racial, ethnic and immigrant identity, we hope to foster better understanding of political membership and American identity, writ large.  Please join us on April 10.
