The Center for Migration Studies is hosting a book launch for our own Dr. Chrissy Getrich's new book, Everyday Activists: Undocumented Immigrants' Quest for Justice and Well-Being. Please join us on celebrating Dr. Getrich, and engage in an insightful and unique experience about her research and writing. This event is being co-sponsored by the Anthropology department in TWS 0330.
Dr. Getrich's book, Everyday Activists, illuminates how DACA recipients wrest control over uncertainty by channeling their energies into actions taken in everyday, adult life where they are making a deep and meaningful impact in their families and communities.
Dr. Getrich will be joined by her long-term research collaborators (and UMD Anthropology & US Latina/o Studies alumni) Alaska Burdette, Ana Ortez-Rivera, and Delmis Umanzor. Dr Perla Guerrero (American Studies & Director of the US Latina/o Studies Program) will comment and facilitate discussion.
The event will be hybrid, so if you would like to attend via Zoom, contact globalmigration@umd.edu. Please make sure to RSVP.
