THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT THE US-MEXICO BORDER: A DEEPER DIVE FROM
DIVERSE LENSESThe Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OEDI)
in partnership with the UC Davis Center for Reducing Health
Disparities is pleased to invite you to a half-day symposium taking a
deeper look at this critical and important topic. This is the first
symposium hosted by the OEDI’s Diversity & Inclusion Dialogue
Series.
The arrival of caravans of primarily Central American migrants and
refugees has triggered a humanitarian crisis that poses multiple
challenges to the migrants themselves, their families, and the local,
state, and federal governments on both sides of the border. The
symposium brings together leading experts to: 1) provide an overview
of the current situation at the US-Mexico border, 2) discuss the
impact of this crisis beyond the border (e.g., on public perceptions),
3) and discuss what role academic and other institutions can play.
