This is a VIRTUAL program.
Join us as we welcome Brianna Nofil, Assistant Professor of History at William & Mary, for a virtual discussion to better understand the evolving history of immigration in the United States.
In this conversation we will take a look at recent immigration approaches and sentiments as well as look back at the thoughts and policies that have shaped immigration over the years. Nofil’s research focuses on migration, borders and ethnicity in the United States. She is the author of The Migrant’s Jail: An American History of Mass Incarceration, which tells the century-long history of migrant detention and resistance in city and county jails.
MTL Conversations Committee member and Western Connecticut State University Psychology Professor Emeritus Daniel Barrett will moderate the discussion.
