On February 24th, 2007, the Conference on Race, Class, Gender and Ethnicity is hosting its eleventh annual conference entitled, “One Person, One Voice: Immigration and the Right to Participate.” This year’s conference will continue the mission of the organization, by bringing a critical perspective and approach to the examination of immigration. In this examination, the over-arching focus will be on immigrant access: ways in which immigrants are excluded from and participate in society. Specifically, immigrant access will be explored through essential aspects of immigrant life including housing and building wealth, health care, labor and the legislative process. Just as importantly, the conference will bring scholars and activists from across North Carolina and the nation together to create synergy and dialogue that builds upon the 2006 immigrant rights movement. Among others, Professor Hiroshi Motomura will be a partcipant. Click here for more details.
