AS 4250 - Immigration Today

Credits: 4

Since 1965 millions of new immigrants have landed on the shores and the airports of the United States. While often compared with earlier immigrants, they diverge from their predecessors in numerous and important ways. This course will explore several broad thematic and theoretical issues in the changing nature of U.S. immigration. The aim is to introduce the students to a number of “conversations” and scholarship pertaining to where our society is now, relative to dealing with the political, economic, social and other demographic challenges which emanate from this immigration. Video and documentary presentations will be used to supplement the lectures and reading materials.
