Critical Diaspora Studies and U.S. Empire in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia: A Symposium of Student Research

The DMV region is home to refugee and migrant communities from across the globe. It is also home to the centerpieces of the national security state, including CIA headquarters, the Pentagon, numerous military bases, as well as outposts of all the major firms that comprise the military-industrial complex, plus three of the military’s university-affiliated research centers.
