Gender & (Im)Migration Workshop

 


The Gender & (Im)Migration Workshop serves as a reading and critique group for faculty research on issues of gender and immigration/migration. We also host visiting scholars and writers whose work dovetails with research and pedagogy related to migration studies. Whenever possible visitors are integrated into the curricula of our courses.

Convened by Lourdes Gutierrez-Najera, Assistant Professor, Anthropology and Latino Studies.
