Immigration, Authoritarianism, and Democracy (November 13, 2024 4:00pm) By events.umich.edu Published On :: Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:32:03 -0400 Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 4:00pm Location: Michigan League Organized By: Center for Emerging Democracies Immigration has become a polarizing issue across democratic, authoritarian, and transitioning contexts. Anti-immigrant rhetoric has become part of the standard playbook for authoritarian populists. Immigration policies in ostensibly democratic countries are becoming more restrictive, all while political conflict, war, pandemics, and intensifying climate change are leading to greater numbers of people migrating in search of safety and a better life. With immigration discourse taking up much of the oxygen in politics across the world, understanding the interconnections among immigration, democracy, and authoritarianism has become more important than ever. This roundtable brings together distinguished scholars to discuss how controversies surrounding immigration and immigrants have become critical for sustaining or upending democracy. Moderator: Nandini Dey, Research Fellow, Center for Emerging Democracies. Speakers: Rebecca Wai Ph.D. Candidate, Political Science Department, Freedom House Emerging Democracies Fellow, University of Michigan Erin Chung Professor of Political Science, Charles D. Miller Chair in East Asian Politics, Department of Political Science, Johns Hopkins University Alexandra Filindra Professor of Political Science & Psychology, University of Illinois-Chicago Silvia Pedraza Professor of Sociology and American Culture, University of Michigan Zoom webinar link Short URL link: https://myumi.ch/5yEEx If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

igr Do immigrants really take jobs and lower wages? By www.npr.org Published On :: Sat, 29 Jun 2024 00:14:20 +0000 We wade into the heated debate over immigrants' impact on the labor market. When the number of workers in a city increases, does that take away jobs from the people who already live and work there? Does a surge of immigration hurt their wages? The debate within the field of economics often centers on Nobel-prize winner David Card's ground-breaking paper, "The Impact of the Mariel Boatlift on the Miami Labor Market." Today on the show: the fight over that paper, and what it tells us about the debate over immigration.
