Events
Alongside developing innovative research, CCIS endeavors to develop greater public engagement with migration studies through comprehensive outreach and education. CCIS has frequently hosted migration workshops and conferences, and has maintained a longstanding research seminar series. Open to the campus and the general public, the series continues to provide the opportunity for Visiting Fellows, Guest Scholars, UCSD faculty, and outside guest speakers to present and receive feedback on their most recent work.

Art and Advocacy: Deported U.S. Veteran Voices at the US-Mexico Border, Dr. Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana in Conversation with local Advocacy Groups
Date: Thursday, February 19, 12:30-2:00pm
Location: PEB 104
Description: The words “deported” and “veteran” should not go together. Unfortunately, over the past 30 years, the U.S. has deported its own to their countries of origin all over the world. Dr. De La Cruz Santana’s work represents deported veteran diaspora in an artfully poignant form of storytelling.
