The Institute for Immigration Research (IIR) welcomes proposals for a two-day working symposium dedicated to immigration, displacement, and belonging, with a particular focus on how arts, culture, and storytelling can be effectively used to build community, shift public attitudes, and inform immigration-related policy in the United States. Proposals are due February 12.

IIR Director, Dr. Lisa Gilman is quoted in this latest New York Times article regarding the Nobel Prize.

IIR welcomes Dr. Marissa Kiss, the new Assistant Director. Dr. Kiss is looking forward to collaborating with students, staff, IIR Affiliate Faculty, and others to continue to advance initiatives that strengthen the IIRs mission as well as produce impactful and engaging research that informs policy and empowers communities.
