This panel will consider justice for immigrants. Since the 2016 election, Trump’s policies and discourse surrounding immigration have fundamentally challenged the pillars of democracy. In the process of regulating who can come in and remain in the US, immigration law and policy touches on how we conceive of family, work, criminal justice, civil rights, and international law. This program focuses on those engaged in teaching and scholarship that is intersectional with immigration law such as criminal law, employment and labor rights, human rights, and community economic development. In particular, it seeks to create a dialogue between clinical and non-clinical faculty and consider how such perspectives could help push the boundaries of what justice looks like for immigrant communities.
