Subject: Immigration Workshop

Description: The Migration Workshop provides a space for academics at the University of Chicago to present their works-in-progress dealing with critical issues of global human mobility. Given the lack of any specific program or center at the University of Chicago that deals with this important field, we are confident that our workshop fills a critical gap. We pride ourselves on our interdisciplinarity, with presenters in fields throughout the social sciences and the professional schools. Workshop participants gain important skills and experience in learning to communicate across disciplines, often engaging with new theories and methodologies in the
process. We believe the workshop is uniquely situated to address important topics in the current historical and political climate through a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the evolution of migration and its implications for individuals and society.
