Presented by the UIC Latino Cultural Center
Making Crime and Criminals: Incarceration and Citizenship on the Arizona-Sonoran Border
Join the Latino Cultural Center and the Institute for Research on Race & Public Policy for an interactive discussion with Patrisia Macías-Rojas about border security mandates; including tracking criminal “aliens” merged with the mission of deterring “illegal” immigration. This talk will examine how migrants in transit, deportees, and border residents resist and reify criminal classifications in their daily experiences with arrest, incarceration, and deportation.
Professor Macías-Rojas is the 2012 visiting scholar at the Institute for Research on Race & Public Policy. Her work investigates the convergence of immigration and criminal law within U.S.-Mexico border enforcement. She is a native of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.
If you require any accommodations please contact us at least three days before the event.
Co-sponsors: UIC Honors College, Latin American and Latino Studies Program, and student organizations Lambda Theta Phi and Lambda Upsilon Lambda
