Immigration and the ‘Crisis’ at the Border
Monday, Feb. 10, 2025
LECTURE | 7 p.m.
We invite you to join us for the College of Arts and Sciences’ premier lecture series
– Frontier Forum. This event is presented in partnership with Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society’s Visiting
Scholar Program and the Judy Genshaft Honors College.
Since 1956, the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program has offered undergraduates
the opportunity to spend time with some of America's most distinguished scholars.
The purpose of the program is to contribute to the intellectual life of the campus
by making possible an exchange of ideas between the visiting scholars and the resident faculty
and students.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged but not required.
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Geraldo Cadava will discuss how immigration policy has changed over time, how the border has evolved and what makes the present situation both similar to and different from earlier moments of crisis.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Professor Cadava is a historian at Northwestern University, contributing writer for The New Yorker, and author of “The Hispanic Republican: The Shaping of An American Political Identity, from Nixon to Trump” (Ecco, 2020), and “Standing on Common Ground: The Making of a Sunbelt Borderland” (Harvard, 2013). At present, he’s writing a history of Latinos over the past 500 years, tentatively titled “A Thousand Bridges,” to be published by Crown in 2026.
