Symposium on Black Immigration and Public Policy
The Institute for Urban Policy Research and Analysis at the University of Texas at Austin will be organizing a Spring 2024 symposium on Black Immigration and Public Policy. The symposium will be held at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center in Austin, Texas on April 3, 2024. It will provide a forum for scholars, practitioners, and other participants to examine the social, economic, and political dimensions of these movements as well as their implications for public policy.
The institute invites submissions from authors exploring various aspects of the relationship between Black immigration and public policy. These could include, but are not limited to, submissions that address (a) immigration-related issues such as specific immigration policies, undocumented status, and refugee movements, as well as (b) the social incorporation of Black immigrants as reflected in their labor market outcomes, home ownership and residential attainment patterns, health outcomes, political participation, education, and community organizations.
The deadline for receiving submissions is October 31, 2023. Authors will be notified of papers accepted by December 1, 2023. Funds are available to cover the travel of a limited number of junior scholars whose papers are accepted for presentation. Submissions are now being accepted at https://sites.utexas.edu/iupra/ . Please also use this website to register if you just plan to attend the event.
