Immigration and Citizenship Symposium at U of O Law School

By immigrationprof

Gepps Immigration_550x250 A one-day symposium led by 2007-08 Wayne Morse Resident Scholar and Hollis Professor of Law Garrett Epps will be held today at the University of Oregon Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics.  The symposium features this blogger, Hiroshi Motomura (North Carolina), Dean John Eastman (Chapman), Richard Delgado (Pitsburgh), Jean Stefancic (Pittsburgh), and Keith Aoki (UC Davis).

The symposium also includes community activists — Larry Kleinman Secretary-Treasurer, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, (PCUN), Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United and Guadalupe Quinn CAUSA (CAUSE), Oregon’s Immigrant Rights Organization — who will talk about immigration reform.

The symposium examines the contested terrain of immigration and citizenship policy in the United States.  For more details, click here.

I will let you know how this conference goes today.  I am hopeful that the Oregonians in attendance today are more open to discussion of these important issues than those in a to-go-unnamed law school in Dallas last fall.
