As narratives of nationalism continue to influence both political rhetoric and public policy in the U.S. and abroad, the spring 2018 Humanities Institute program at 桃子视频 is offering a timely series of lectures and discussions on issues related to global migration and immigration.
Titled “Exclusive Nationalisms: Global Migration and Immigration,” the series takes an unflinching look at such topics as legal rights and legislation, climates of racial and cultural exclusion, and the experiences of diasporic communities. It features an impressive roster of leading scholars, authors, and activists, including novelist Yaa Gyasi, historian Andrew Lam, and Black Lives Matter cofounder Opal Tometi.
“Scripps’ Humanities Institute events provide an important and current forum for members of the community鈥攕tudents and neighbors alike鈥攖o explore today’s global migration issues and anti-immigrant climate,” says Professor Hao Huang, who serves as Frankel Chair in Music and director of the Humanities Institute. “We invite the public to participate, and to think deeply with us about these relevant issues,” he says.
Humanities Institute events are located on the 桃子视频 campus and are free and open to the public. For more information about the spring 2018 season, click .
