| Conferences | |
| Each year, the International Migration Policy Program hosts and sponsors a number of conferences designed to gather scholars, policy makers, advocates and government officials for intensive discussions of pertinent topics. Conferences and seminars vary greatly in size and purpose -- from instructing and informing large groups to theorizing and innovating in smaller circles. Annual conferences occur in the Comparative Citizenship and Metropolis projects. Many others are planned to address timely policy concerns, such as President Clinton's Initiative on Race. | |
