ABOUT WORKSHOP SCHEDULE RESOURCES CONTACT US Immigration Workshop The purpose of the Immigration workshop is to stimulate and promote the development and discussion of theoretical and empirical research related to international migration and immigrants’ experiences. The immigration related issues cut across historical periods, generations, languages, and national boundaries. Who are those people who choose to migrate? Why do they migrate? How do immigrants and their families integrate into their new societies? How do immigrants influence their host societies? What kind of relationships do immigrants have with their countries of origin? The Immigration workshop provides a venue in which to address these and many other questions central to the academic and public debates on immigration. We hope you will join us often. If you wish to present your work, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please let us know if you would like to sign up for our listserv.
