White Oak Library District: Crest Hill Branch

Professor Julia Albarracín-Green examines the experiences of the children of immigrants who arrive in the U.S. and grow up not knowing of their undocumented status and the many risks that poses. Albarracín-Green &nbsp;also wrote about this topic in her book <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/young-and-undocumented-political-belonging-in-uncertain-times-julia-albarrac-n/952834246b4ac873?ean=9781479819089&amp;next=t" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Young and Undocumented: Political Belonging in Uncertain Times</a> (New York University Press, 2025).
This presentation explores the lives and experiences of undocumented immigrant youth, specifically those of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. Hear how undocumented youth in the U.S. navigate their identity and sense of belonging in the only country they've ever known as home. Drawing on firsthand interviews, Albarracín-Green delves into the devastating impacts of the undocumented status on the youth's psychological well-being and the opportunities that are available to them.

The Cosmic Romantics are a magic duo redefining what live entertainment can feel like. Known for <a href="https://youtu.be/ZhRH0qtWfA4?si=Ha6RCIBiEfnMDLd7" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">fooling Penn &amp; Teller</a> on national television, they specialize in funny, slightly surreal performances that blend mindreading and sleight of hand with storytelling. Their shows don’t just impress — they leave lasting memories.
About the performers, Elizabeth Siegel and Eric Siegel:&nbsp;
Elizabeth is one of the most sought after female magicians in the country, performing her own vintage blend of magic and music at venues such as House of Blues, Meltdown Comics, The Globe Theater, and just about everywhere else. You can see Elizabeth in Netflix's emmy-winning children's show Ada Twist, Scientist, the YouTube sensation Blippi, or the feature film Marvelous and the Black Hole, an official selection at Sundance Film Festival.
Eric "Thirstin" Siegel has consulted for Disney Channel, Dropout, and Las Vegas headliners. The Chicago Tribune praised his work as "pushing the boundaries of long form storytelling," and the L.A. times dubbed him a "petulant Lou Reed." He has performed original work at Second City, Sketch Fest NYC, and the TBS Just for Laughs Festival, as well as iO Chicago where he won the Del Award for best written show.
