Migration Resources at Cornell University

Networks & Campus Events Listings


The core activities of this theme project will knit together the expertise of immigration researchers across campus and to build on this expertise to foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research outcomes, expanding the theoretical frontier of immigration studies, while building on and strengthening the institutional resources for immigration studies available at Cornell.

Please follow the link for the many events scheduled during 2011-12.

Migration Issues Group (MIG)

Migration Issues Group (MIG) acts as a network of faculty, researchers and graduate students in the Cornell community who work on migration issues. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of migration study, the MIG network is open to scholars from all disciplines and already includes demographers, economists, historians, geographers, lawyers, political scientists, and sociologists. MIG’s goal is to serve as an information resource about upcoming CU migration events, CU migration courses, and CU migration research.

We are one of the only law school clinics in the country that focus exclusively on appellate immigration cases. Under the supervision of the Clinic Directors, law students represent immigrants fleeing persecution in their appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

The IFI works to meet the needs of the immigrant farmworker community through local on-farm outreach and education. We also advocate for immigrant farmworkers at Cornell University through informational events. We invite all interested students to contribute ideas to the initiative.
