The Popularization of Unpopular Ideas: Social Cross-Pressures and Immigration Attitudes in Sweden

2:00-3:30 p.m., Friday, February 21, 2020
Hoffmann Room, 27 Kirkland Street at Cabot Way
Cambridge, MA 02138
[link removed]

Description: How do ideas that are broadly unpopular in a society spread among citizens? To answer this question the speakers will examine the development of anti-immigrant sentiment over time in Sweden. Although Sweden has been known as one of the most tolerant countries in the world, Swedish attitudes toward immigrants have hardened over the past decade, and a radical right party has gained supporters and legislative seats. The speakers will discuss adolescent Swedes and members of their social networks to establish the factors that prompt individuals to shift their attitudes about immigrants and argue that when a respondent’s friends disagree on the subject of immigrants, he or she becomes less tolerant of immigrants over time (and more likely to support the radical right). This influence is most significant for those whose parents are particularly pro-immigrant. The speakers will discuss the effect of friend discordance to be strongest when one’s friends supply information by suggesting
politically relevant websites to the respondent. These new insights align with existing accounts of the powerful role of interpersonal contexts in shaping citizen attitudes. Yet, in contrast with the dominant view that politically diverse social ties can bolster the health of a democratic system, the results suggest a rather bleak narrative in which exposure to cross-pressures weakens key liberal democratic values.

Jennifer Fitzgerald, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Colorado Boulder

Legalizing the Impossible Subject: The White Russian Refugees and the Development of American Immigration and Refugee Law during the Great Depression

12:00-1:30 p.m., Monday, February 24, 2020
Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
University of California, San Diego

Speakers:
S. Deborah Kang, Visiting Scholar, The Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, UC San Diego
Associate Professor of History, California State University San Marcos

Description: During the Great Depression, states and localities expelled nearly a half-million ethnic Mexicans from the United States. Yet, in the midst of these removals, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) launched an initiative to reform the hardships surrounding federal deportation policy. In the process, it expanded the legal architecture by which undocumented Europeans could be legalized. Drawing upon a chapter from her second book project, Undocumented Immigration and Immigration Legalization in the United States, 1906-1986, Kang will describe a legalization program created for Russian immigrants and its implications for the development of US refugee and immigration policies.

Indignity and Indignation: Migrant Lives at Israel’s Margins

12:00-1:30 p.m., Thursday, February 27, 2020
Robinson Hall Basement Seminar Room
Lower Level Library
35 Quincy Street
Cambridge, MA 02138
[link removed]

Speaker:
Sarah Willen, Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Research Program on Global Health and Human Rights, University of Connecticut

Description: Sarah Willen is the author of Fighting for Dignity: Migrant Lives at Israel’s Margins. In Fighting for Dignity, Sarah S. Willen explores what happened when the Israeli government launched an aggressive deportation campaign targeting newly arrived migrants from countries as varied as Ghana and the Philippines, Nigeria, Colombia, and Ukraine. Although the campaign was billed as a solution to high unemployment, it had another goal as well: to promote an exclusionary vision of Israel as a Jewish state in which non-Jews have no place. The deportation campaign quickly devastated Tel Aviv's migrant communities and set the stage for even more aggressive antimigrant and antirefugee policies in the years to come.

Fighting for Dignity traces the roots of this deportation campaign in Israeli history and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and shows how policies that illegalize and criminalize migrants wreak havoc in their lives, endanger their health, and curtail the human capacity to flourish. Children born to migrant parents are especially vulnerable to developmental and psychosocial risks. Drawing on nearly two decades of ethnographic engagement in homes and in churches, medical offices, advocacy organizations, and public spaces, Willen shows how migrants struggle to craft meaningful, flourishing lives despite the exclusions and vulnerabilities they endure. To complement their perspectives, she introduces Israeli activists who reject their government's exclusionary agenda and strive to build bridges across difference, repair violations of migrants' dignity, and resist policies that violate their own moral convictions. Willen's vivid and unflinching ethnography challenges us to reconsider our
understandings of global migration, human rights, the Middle East— and even dignity itself.

Conference on the Venezuela Refugee Crisis

Lourdes Gouveia, Department of Sociology, University of Nebraska

Fernando Lozano, UNAM (Mexico)

Boris Muñoz, The New York Times

Description: What explains state responses to the refugees they receive? This project identifies two puzzling patterns in state responses to refugees: states open their borders to some refugee groups while blocking others (the “discrimination puzzle”), and a number of countries have given the UN control of asylum procedures and refugee camps on their territory (the “delegation puzzle”). I develop a two-part framework in which policymakers in refugee-receiving countries weigh international and domestic concerns. At the international level, policymakers consider relations with the refugee-sending country. At the domestic level, policymakers consider political competition among ethnic groups. When these international and domestic incentives conflict, shifting responsibility to the UN allows policymakers to placate both refugee-sending countries and domestic constituencies.

Certificate program course in International Migration Studies

XCPD-703 - Newcomers to Citizens: Immigrant Integration

9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Wednesday, March 2-4, 2020
Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies
640 Massachusetts Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20001
[link removed]

Course Description: With a record 200 million people living outside their country of birth, immigration is a global phenomenon with profound demographic, economic, social, and political implications for both sending and receiving countries. The debate over immigration law and policy has become increasingly volatile and, in some instances, characterized by misinformation, hate, and xenophobia. Beyond the politics of immigration, genuine challenges to immigrant integration abound. Successful integration of immigrants is critical to the long-term prosperity of host countries that rely on immigrants as workers, consumers, taxpayers, innovators, and entrepreneurs in light of their aging native-born populations and lower birth rates. In this course we will explore integration law, policies, judicial cases and practices in both traditional immigrant-receiving countries--such as the United States and Canada and new countries of permanent immigration such as France, Germany, the United Kingdom. We
will raise questions about traditional understandings of nationality, loyalty, place and identity. We will also discuss citizenship laws, models of multicultural citizenship, as well as transnationalism and post-nationalism, paradigms that challenge an integrationist reading of migration. Using case studies from North America and Europe we will pay special attention to the different modes of immigrant civic engagement and political participation on their road from newcomers to citizens.

Course Objectives:

At the completion of the course, a successful student will be able to:

* Discuss the integration law, policies, judicial cases and practices in both traditional immigrant-receiving and source countries.
* Recognize questions about traditional understandings of nationality, loyalty, place and identity.
* Discuss citizenship laws, models of multicultural citizenship, as well as transnationalism and post-nationalism.
* Compare different modes of immigrant civic engagement and political participation.

Instructor: Jennifer Wistrand

Emigration from Paradise: Migration Stories from Interwar Hungary

Speaker:
llse Josepha Lazaroms, Lecturer, Graduate Gender Program, Department of Media and Culture Studies, Utrecht University; Research Fellow in Jewish Studies, Martin Buber Chair, Goethe University Frankfurt; German Kennedy Memorial Fellow & Visiting Scholar 2019-2020, CES, Harvard University

Description: In this talk Ilse Josepha Lazaroms will discuss the many variations of emigration and emigration narratives that existed among Jewish communities in interwar Hungary and the Hungarian diasporas. This story is a part of a larger book project entitled Emigration from Paradise: Home, Fate and Nation in Post-World War I Jewish Hungary (forthcoming with Stanford University Press). The manuscript deals with the nature of national attachment and social exclusion in 1920s East Central Europe, and Hungary in particular, as well as the ways in which the personal, social and national traumas of these years reverberate until today. The story, which is set at the point when European civilization plunged into the depths of darkness, focuses on the life-stories of individual Hungarian Jews, thereby bringing the domain of the private into the world of politics, migrations and nation states.

Author Meets Critics Event: Refuge Beyond Reach

UCLA Center for Study of International Migration

Speaker:
Francisco Santos Calderon, Colombia Ambassador to the United States

Andrea Castillo, Los Angeles Times

Lourdes Gouveia, Department of Sociology, University of Nebraska

Fernando Lozano, UNAM (Mexico)

Boris Muñoz, The New York Times

Description: In Refuge beyond Reach, David Scott FitzGerald traces how rich democracies have deliberately and systematically shut down most legal paths to safety. Drawing on official government documents, information obtained via WikiLeaks, and interviews with asylum seekers, he finds that for ninety-nine percent of refugees, the only way to find safety in one of the prosperous democracies of the Global North is to reach its territory and then ask for asylum. FitzGerald shows how the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia comply with the letter of law while violating the spirit of those laws through a range of deterrence methods -- first designed to keep out Jews fleeing the Nazis -- that have now evolved into a pervasive global system of "remote control." While some of the most draconian remote control practices continue in secret, Fitzgerald identifies some pressure points and finds that a diffuse humanitarian obligation to help those in need is more difficult for governments to evade than the
law alone.

Book Discussion: 'The Shifting Border'

Presented by Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at The New School.

6:00-7:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 24, 2020
Theresa Lang Community and Student Center
Starr Foundation Hall, U L102, University Center

Speaker:
Ayelet Shacher, Professor of Law, Political Science, and Global Affairs
Toronto University

Description: We tend to think of a border as a static line, but recent bordering techniques have broken away from the map, as governments have developed legal tools to limit the rights of migrants before and after they enter a country’s territory. The consequent detachment of state power from any fixed geographical marker has created a new paradigm: the shifting border, an adjustable legal construct untethered in space. This transformation upsets our assumptions about waning sovereignty, while also revealing the limits of the populist push toward border-fortification. It also presents a tremendous opportunity to rethink states’ responsibilities to migrants. This book proposes a new, functional approach to human mobility and access to membership in a world where borders, like people, have the capacity to move.

Certificate program course in International Migration Studies

XCPD-715 - Environmental Displacement and Migration

9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Wednesday-Friday, April 15-17, 2020
Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies
C-204, 640 Massachusetts Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20001
[link removed]

Course Description: Since the earliest history of humankind, people have migrated in response to environmental change. Today there is growing concern that human-induced climate change, coupled with human settlement patterns, will lead to far greater movements of people; some movement is likely to be voluntary as people look for better opportunities elsewhere in response to changing livelihoods. Some is likely to be involuntary – either anticipatory as people see the handwriting on the wall or reactive as people have no alternative but to move. Some will be spontaneous – in the case of Puerto Rico where hundreds of thousands of people left Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in 2017. Some will be planned as in the case of Staten Island where people decided to move elsewhere, with government support, after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Environmental displacement and migration are not just concerns for future generations; people are already moving. This course will begin with an examination of
environmental risk due to physical processes and then review the state of theoretical knowledge about patterns of migration. The course will then look at the socio-economic, political, security, and demographic factors that affect environmental displacement and migration as well as the consequences for those who move, for the destination communities, for those left behind and for national and international politics

Course Objectives:

At the completion of the course, a successful student will be able to:

* Understand the relationship between environmental phenomena and socio-economic factors as drivers of displacement and migration

* Analyze the relationship between environmental risk and mobility

* Understand the normative frameworks applicable to different types of internal and cross-border migration and displacement

* Explain basic concepts, such as vulnerability, risk, disaster risk reduction, climate change mitigation and adaptation

* Identify different disciplinary approaches to environmental migration and displacement

* Recognize the different international institutional actors

Unaccompanied Moroccan Migrant Minors in Spain

3:00-5:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 22, 2020
Lydeen Library, Rolfe Hall West 4302
UCLA campus
Los Angeles, CA 90095-1487
[link removed]

Speakers:
Susan Plann, Research Professor Emerita at UCLA in the departments of Chicana and Chicano Studies and Spanish and Portuguese and the author of Coming of Age in Madrid: An Oral History of Unaccompanied Moroccan Migrant Minors .

Abdellah Laroussi, social worker with Fundación La Merced Migraciones (Madrid), director of various residences for unaccompanied migrant youth, and prominent immigrant rights activist and spokesperson.

Description: According to Human Rights Watch, unaccompanied child migration is today the new normal; according to the Spanish press, it has now reached crisis proportions, and the great majority of unaccompanied foreign migrant minors in Spain are Moroccans. The topic of “Unaccompanied Moroccan Migrant Minors in Spain” is of importance for both European and African im/migration, and it also has significant implications for child migration to the U.S.

During the first half of the presentation Prof. Plann will provide an overview of unaccompanied Moroccan child migration to Spain, including the motives for their migration, how it is accomplished, their reception on Spanish shores, their status under Spanish law, and what happens when these children come of age. She will also point out notable differences between their situation in Spain and that of migrant minors in the U.S. Spain’s policy toward unaccompanied child migrants, which includes a path to citizenship, may seem an attractive alternative to the American model, but Prof. Plann argues that it also has its downsides.

The second half of the presentation will feature Mr. Laroussi, himself a former Moroccan child migrant who now resides in Madrid. Social worker with the foundation Merced Migraciones and prominent immigrants’ rights activist and spokesperson, Mr. Laroussi will tell his personal story and analyze the current situation of unaccompanied migrant youth in Spain, with whom he works on a daily basis.

Writing Immigration History in an Age of Fake News

12:00-1:30 p.m., Thursday, April 23, 2020
Robinson Hall Basement Seminar Room
35 Quincy Street
Cambridge, MA 02138
[link removed]

Speaker:
Katy Long, Senior Research Associate at the School of Advanced Study at the University of London

Description: In the battle that currently rages over immigrants’ place in America’s future, history has been weaponized. If liberals remain convinced that America is at its very core a ‘nation of immigrants’: a country shaped by a constant flow of newcomers, conservatives insist that preserving historic American identity depends upon keeping an imminent immigrant ‘invasion’ at bay. The reality, however, is a far more less binary history than is suggested by either shrill and repetitive headlines about walls, deportations and looming crisis, or romanticized nostalgia for an era in which ‘huddled masses’ were ushered through ‘golden doors’. At a moment when debates over immigration are at the center of a national political crisis, is there a duty to write about immigration in ways that reach beyond the seminar hall? If so, how can researchers best tell stories about the history of American Immigration in ways which engage an ever-more skeptical and polarized public.

Heinz College – Hamburg Hall A301
Carnegie Mellon University
5000 Forbes Avenue

Description: In the United States, the issue of immigration gives rise to controversy and conflict. This issue requires us to wrestle with challenging questions about many things, including:

Who should be admitted to the US as an immigrant (family members, skilled workers, etc.)?

How many people should the US admit as immigrants (should we increase, decrease or keep current levels)?

What rules should guide the immigration process (and how should these rules be enforced)?

How should we address the problems (social, political, and economic) that cause people to migrate from their home countries?
