Welcome to the MIMS Student Blog!
Immigration is a complicated and dynamic field. Our approach to educating and empowering leaders and thinkers is as diverse and open as the graduate students who commit two years to exploring the issue through deep academic and community engagement. With so many different ways to connect and update our community about our work and program, we still felt we lacked a way to give you a deeper understanding of who we are and what we do, until now. We will use this space to share the work of past and present students and introduce you to Migration Studies faculty and community partners, in the U.S. and in Mexico.
Critical Migration Studies Conference
10 years of MiMS! Last month, we celebrated our 10th anniversary by getting together and having critical discussions, including asylum, advocacy, and the implications of recent events such as the federal occupation of Minneapolis and what it means for future immigrants in the U.S. The event provided a valuable opportunity for students and the public to engage with experts in the field, gain a better understanding of the movement of resistance in recent years, and discuss how to find hope and direction during these turbulent times.
