Members of the Harvard Migration and Immigrants Incorporation workshop share a common interest in international migration and the incorporation of immigrants into host societies. This broad topic includes questions of race and the integration of the second generation (the children of immigrants). While the majority of participants focus on the United States, the workshop includes and is open to researchers studying other immigrant-receiving countries.
          The primary purpose of the workshop is to circulate works-in-progress in order to elicit feedback and suggestions for improving scholarly work such as dissertation chapters or proposals, journal article submissions, interview schedules and conference papers. The workshop is home to a broad range of interests under the general rubric of immigration studies. It and its email list also serve as a venue to disseminate information about data sources and recent publications of interest to participants.
          Participation is open to all graduate students, faculty members and researchers in the greater Boston area. If you wish to present a paper, please submit a short abstract (150-200 words) at the beginning of the Fall or Spring semester. In addition, please submit your paper (about 20-25 pages, double-spaced) to the coordinators two weeks in advance of your presentation. To encourage participation and feedbacks from a wide range of members, those who present a paper in the workshop should also try to attend at least one other presentation besides your own.
