The Forced Migration Laboratory at the Center for Comparative Immigration
Studies (CCIS), University of California, San Diego presents:
FORCED MIGRATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN SAN DIEGO: What the public needs to
know
Tuesday, February 15, 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Eleanor Roosevelt College Administration Building
Conference Room 115
Reception to follow
This discussion, organized by CCIS's Forced Migration Laboratory, will
discuss whether current "homeland security" measures and the rise in
immigrant deportations and detentions might be considered a form of forced
migration.
Proposed questions for consideration are the following:
How does immigration legislation and the political environment post 9/11
create new forms of insecurity for non-US citizens?
Can these new forms of insecurity (including increased surveillance,
deportation and detention) give rise to new forms of "forced migration"?
What are the limits and possibilities of using the term "forced migration"?
How would this blur or conflate the categories of immigrant, refugee, etc?
Roundtable participants include:
Robyn M. Rodriguez
(Visiting Research Fellow, CCIS)
Nathaniel H. Goetz
(Interim Director, Forced Migration Laboratory, CCIS)
Wayne A. Cornelius
(Director, CCIS; Gildred Professor of Political Science, UCSD)
Debbie Boehm
(Guest Scholar, CCIS)
