Led by Mireille Paquet (CURC on the Politics of immigration), the Immigration politics reading group is open to all interested students and faculty members.
Each session focuses on a single text, which we explore together over the course of an hour. The only commitment is to read the assigned text before each meeting and join in the discussion. It's a relaxed, welcoming space for Concordians interested in migration and immigration studies, whatever their discipline or level of familiarity with the field.
Our conversations are thoughtful and engaging, and the group offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with others working on migration.
