Interdisciplinary Initiative Retrospective <br>
Focusing on the <i>Initiative on Immigration – History and Policy</i><i><br>
</i><br>
<b>Emily Pope-Obeda</b> (History) will give a presentation in the <i>CAS
Interdisciplinary Initiative Retrospective</i> entitled <b>INSTITUTIONS
of IMMIGRANT REMOVAL: THE RISE of the AMERICAN DEPORTATION REGIME</b>,
Wednesday, November 12. The presentation starts at noon in the
first floor seminar room, Center for Advanced Study, 912 W. Illinois
St., Urbana.<br>
<br>
<blockquote>In 2012, the U.S. deported almost 410,000 immigrants—the
most in its history. This talk traces the growth of America’s
deportation machinery from a small-scale effort aimed at
eliminating specific immigrant “threats” to the massive and
complex contemporary system, and explores the evolving politics
and practice of expelling immigrants deemed undesirable for
American society.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
This presentation is free and open to the public. For more

C<b>enter for Advanced Study Interdisciplinary Initiatives</b> offer
campus the opportunity to engage in a yearlong and in-depth
conversation about a topic relevant to our entire scholarly
community. For the 15th-anniversary year of this prestigious
program, we have invited back a few of our former CAS Resident
Associates to reflect on the initiatives they helped organize and
how their work has evolved since.<br>
<br>
<i><b>The CAS Initiative on Immigration – History and Policy</b></i> brought
together scholars in the social sciences, law, computer science,
engineering and humanities to explore new approaches to immigration
and its controversies. CAS Resident Associates Jim Barrett
(History) and Gale Summerfield (Women and Gender in Global
Perspectives Program) led this initiative.<br>
