Profile of Professor Deborah Anker

  Debbie anker

Harvard Magazine has a nice profile on immigration and refugee law professor Deborah Anker.  When Anker joined the Law School faculty in the mid 1980s, immigration law was not on the curriculum.  (I graduated from HLS in 1983 and can vouch for that.).  In addition to teaching the first full immigration-law course offered at the law school, Anker in 1984 co-founded the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program, a direct services clinic that engages students in representating asylum applicants.
