Annual Seminar, American Migrations: Conceptualizing the Impacts of the U.S. Immigration Enforcement Regime on Children, by Dr. Joanna Dreby

18 June 2019, 12:00 - 14:00 
Tel Aviv University, Gilman 317A 
Text - Real equality isn't possible, if we don't celebrate our differences

Dr. Joanna Dreby, an Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology at SUNY Albany, is a sociologist, who explores the effects of immigration on the relationship between parents and children, and between children themselves. Dr. Dreby presented the results of her research, based on a large number of interviews she conducted over time. She interviewed children both with legal and illegal status in the United States. In some of the families American citizenship was a generational matter, where parents have arrived illegally, while their children got the American citizenship by birth.

We have explored and discussed child's perspective on her parents' status in the United States and the anxiety, which accompanies those children, whose parents do not have a legal status.

We also talked about Obama's and Trump's immigration policies and the politicization of the issue in the US and the world with the rise of populist regimes.
