DCII Big Challenge Series: Misconceptions About Migration: Rapid-Fire Lessons from Around the World In-Person
Please join the Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute for the November event of the DCII's Big Challenge Series on Understanding Migration.
In a "lightning round" format, five SMU professors from different academic disciplines will share their insights into commonly misunderstood aspects of human migration, providing a richer picture of migration patterns, causes, and effects than one might glean from American news headlines. The panel features Law Professor Natalie Nanasi, Political Science Professor James Hollifield, History Professor Bianca Lopez, World Languages and Literatures Professor Hervé Tchumkam, and Economics Professor Beth Wheaton-Paramo.
