College Students of Immigrant Origin: Research, Practice, & Community Engagement
We invite faculty, students (undergraduate and graduate), practitioners, and community partners to submit an abstract of up to 250 words based on the theme: college students of immigrant origins. Presenters may wish to submit to any of the three submission types. Today, more than 5-million college students in the United States identify as immigrants or students from immigrant families. As scholars and practitioners learn more about the experiences and needs of these students, institutions have opportunities to better support their college access, retention, and success.

ACGIS Guest Lecture with Dr. Salah Chafik (University College London)
Fall 2023 Lineup
The Space, Place, and Cities Reading Group is excited to begin a new semester. We are a group of scholars at Mason interested in theories of space and place and how they impinge on studies of race, class, caste, power, gender, sexuality, cities, globalization, transnationalism, and more. In the past we’ve read theorists such as Henri Lefebvre, Doreen Massey, Yi-Fu Tuan, and Marc Auge, alongside empirical studies on topics such as race and aesthetics in D.C., space and mobility in Palestine, and cross-border infrastructures in the Balkans. Going forward, we will continue to read across disciplines, sharing insights, ideas, and recommendations of group members. We will be meeting once a month on Zoom in what will be an open forum to discuss, debate, and learn from each other and what we’re reading. This group is co-hosted by Mason’s Center for Humanities Research (CHR).
