This talk explores the impact of immigration policies from economically advantaged countries on both the people in less advantaged nations, particularly in the Global South, and the immigrants who enter under these policies. The speaker will take us on a transnational journey, delving into the societal, personal, and political implications of the U.S. Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. Highlighting the trauma, resilience, determination, and mobility of those who immigrate to the U.S. through the DV program, the talk will conclude with a call for economically advantaged countries to adopt policies that better integrate immigrants into their societies.

This is an outstanding opportunity for undergraduate students from NYU to share their research on such topics as migration, mobility or immobility, borders, displacement, and asylum globally and locally.  

Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit their ongoing research from a capstone research project or their findings from a paper or project completed in a previous semester.

Selected students will present their research and engage in discussion with each other on a panel moderated by a faculty member. These will be short presentations (no more than 8 minutes each) to allow ample time for moderated discussions. 

Participation is open to all NYU undergraduate students from any school or major. To apply, please fill out the form by clicking the button below.   

Important: All student presenters must be available to present either in-person (for students in NYC) or by Zoom (students at global sites, NYUAD or NYUSH) at the event on March 4. Guests will be invited to attend in-person or virtually.
