Welcoming Immigrants & Newcomers in Turbulent Times : Knowledge, Connections & Action : Proceedings of the 18th Annual Conference, June 5-7, 2019

Abstract

"The 2019 conference proved to be a good place for participants from nineteen states to explore collaboration and unity in contrast to the nation’s climate. The 18th Cambio de Colores Conference, titled “Welcoming Immigrants and Newcomers in Turbulent Times: Knowledge, Connections and Action,” was held at Stoney Creek Inn in Columbia. The title of the conference underlines the growing tension between the welcoming efforts of communities and local, state, and federal rhetoric and policies that further marginalize these populations. ... The 18th Conference Proceedings includes the abstracts of all the presentations and workshops covering the six theme tracks: Change & Integration, Economic Development, Civil Rights & Political Participation, Education, Health, and Youth Development.
