EDU-3900J: Immigrant Rights, Labor and Higher Education

This workshop will explore the contemporary immigrant rights movement and the contemporary labor movement. Through this workshop, students will be able to make connections between their own direct or indirect stories on migration, the forces that have shaped the U.S. history of migration and the current immigration issue. Students will also be able to make a connection between immigration and the labor movement, especially as it pertains to low-wage workers and worker centers in Los Angeles. There will be a special focus on the issue of immigrant students in higher education, the legislative and policy issues that have emerged, and the growing immigrant youth movement. The material presented, for the most part, will come from first-hand sources. All of the reading material assigned has been written by those directly impacted by the issue of immigration or by those involved in the labor movement. Students will be reading about a process that is changing day by day and will be able to make the connections between the material presented and current events.
