From the Borderlands to Baltimore: Meeting the Challenges for Migrants and Refugees Today
February 6 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Hodson Hall 110
The Program in Latin America, Caribbean and Latinx Studies presents
a panel discussion bringing together speakers who are working on the ground with migrants and refugees. They will discuss their experiences, comparing the situations at the U.S.-Mexico border and in Baltimore. They will also speak to what effects the new presidential administration is likely to have and what new challenges are arising. And they will also present ways for Hopkins students to become more involved and active in immigration-justice struggles, building solidarity from the Borderlands to Baltimore and beyond.
Please join the Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism for such an exciting event.
