Migration

This Research Group will provide an interdisciplinary forum at ASU for scholars interested in the themes of migration, displacement, and borders. Its interests will extend from domestic migration, to international migration, to refugees and displaced persons. The group will meet approximately once a month to hear a presentation of a forthcoming professional paper by one of the participants. There will be a featured presentation by a scholar from another university on the final spring semester public forum, with comments and discussion by members of the group. This will be focused on the public expression of humanities on the meaning of migration, developing a position paper for the Viewpoints Section of the Arizona Republic or other such media, showing how migration's origins and consequences extend beyond demographic and economic concerns.
