CALL FOR PAPERS: Politics of Race, Immigration and Ethnicity Consortium

UC Davis will be hosting the Politics of Race, Immigration and Ethnicity Consortium on Friday, May 6.  PRIEC is an ongoing series of meetings that brings together faculty and graduate students and showcases work-in-progress on racial/ethnic politics and the politics of immigration. The consortium’s main objectives are to provide a forum and a resource for graduate students seeking mentoring and advice, and for faculty to collaborate and receive feedback on ongoing projects.

The meeting is multidisciplinary in nature.
