Immigration, Integration, and Attitudes Toward Immigrants

Immigration has increased worldwide over the past several decades, changing the landscape of destination societies in important and multifaceted ways. The selection of immigration is subject to country-specific policies and circumstances. The integration of immigrants is shaped by not only immigrants' own characteristics, the resources they bring with them, and the context of reception in the destinations. These are important questions for sociological inquiry. The proposed session will look into these questions from a cross-national comparative perspective.
