What Do We Do Now? Immigration, Deportation, and Building Solidarity

Panel discussion, sponsored by the Cornell AAUP Chapter, American Studies Program, Departments of Comparative Literature, Romance Studies, and Literatures in English

The Trump administration’s recent executive orders target both undocumented and international students, workers, and scholars and threaten them with deportation as part of an unprecedented scale of racist and xenophobic policies. In this moment of overwhelming repression, we come together as a community and affirm our solidarity. This panel asks: how do we continue to foster critical thought, both intellectually and politically? How do we build a collective movement of resistance? What lessons from the past are relevant today? 

Where: Kaufman Auditorium, Goldwin Smith Hall G64

When: 5-7 pm Monday, February 10

Who: Panelists are Eric Lee, National Immigration Attorney; Derek Chang, History and Asian American Studies; Joe Margulies, Law and Government; Shannon Gleeson, Global Labor & Work and Latina/o Studies

Moderated by Risa Lieberwitz, Labor and Employment Law, Academic Director of the Worker Institute

Pizza and beverages will be served!
