5th Biennial Emerging Immigration Scholars at BYU Law (June 7-8, 2019)

The 5th Biennel Immigration Scholars Conference will be held at BYU Law on June 7-8, 2019. This conference provides a forum for immigration law scholars to receive and provide constructive feedback on scholarship in a supportive setting; attend panel discussions that focus on teaching, scholarship, and other issues relevant to the early stages of a career as an immigration law scholar; and connect with colleagues from across the country. The conference is especially geared toward immigration law professors who have fewer than 10 years of experience in legal academia or who are pre-tenured.

This year’s conference includes numerous works-in-progress sessions to foster immigration scholarship. In addition there will be panels on Teaching and Learning Innovations in Immigration Law (Moderated by Pooja Dadhania; Panelists: Stella Burch Elias, Jill Family, Liz Keyes, Emily Robinson), Arc of Career for Immigration Law Teachers & Scholars (Moderated by Sabrina Balgamwalla; Panelists: Rose Cuison Villazor, Pooja Dadhania, Carolina Núñez, Sarah Rogerson), New Frontiers in Immigration Law Scholarship (Moderated by Shalini Ray; Panelists: Michael Kagan, Anil Kalhan, Sarah Lamdan, Emily Ryo). The keynote luncheon on Keeping Up with Current Litigation will be given by Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia.

Thanks to conference organizers for continuing this beloved event!
