New Paradigms in Intelligence Support to Policy

Monday, January 27th

INTS 1113

With Gary Gomez, Research Fellow at fp21

About the Seminar:
State-created categories, such as the various legal statuses into which immigrants are classified, have powerful effects over a lifetime and even multigenerational. These categories are not neutral or objective; they reflect gender, race, and class ideologies such that they create and sustain enduring inequalities. Furthermore, state-created categories often do not capture immigrants’ lived realities, leading to misalignments, omissions, and in-betweenness. The talk will illustrate these points with empirical examples from various cases.
