THE 10TH ANNUAL
Globalization and Social Responsibility Conference:
Contemporary Immigration Issues

FEBRUARY 26-27, 2010 | ST. OLAF COLLEGE

 

Keynote Speakers:

Cecilia Menjivar
Cecilia Menjivar's research focuses on the effects of macrostructural processes in individuals' lives and actions. Specifically, she examines the social worlds of individuals who live in hostile and violent environments. In her research such adverse contexts result from different forms of exclusion-legal, social, economic-as well as from institutional, symbolic, and political forms of violence. Cecilia Menjivar is a professor at Arizona State University, in the Program in Sociology, School of Social and Family Dynamics. 7:30p.m. Friday, February 26th, Buntrock Commons, Black and Gold Ballroom


Kristi Anderson
Kristi Anderson, Professor of Political Science at Maxwell School of Syracuse University, specializes in immigration, women and politics, including a project, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, studying US cities which have experienced recent immigration, and how institutions (local governments, parties, civic organizations) are making efforts to incorporate new immigrant groups into civic and political life.
9:00a.m. Saturday, February 27th, Buntrock Commons, Black and Gold Ballroom

Through her words and images, Giselle reveals a complicated love story.” 7:30p.m. Friday, February 26th, Buntrock Commons, The Lion's Pause
