Push and Pull: How powerful is the lure of the American Dream? And other conversations about immigration
Using an interactive simulation, we will try to recreate some of the broad experiences that cause people to migrate and immigrate. We will discuss the difference between push and pull factors in regards to immigration, especially within an American context. Thinking critically, we hope to examine the idea of the American Dream and how it relates to immigration to America. There will also be discussion about undocumented and DACAmented students on the UConn campus, in order to raise awareness of their presence and voice. Light refreshements will be provided.
