The 1619 Project Book Club Series: Citizenship, Democracy, Immigration & Race Relations
October 6, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm PDT
The 1619 Project Book Club Series: Citizenship, Democracy, Immigration & Race Relations
This virtual session will be facilitated by Dr. Hien Do (Class XXXVI), Professor of Sociology & Social Science, San Jose State University, and Asian American Studies, Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity, Stanford University.
Participants should read Chapter 8, “Citizenship” by Martha S. Jones. Come ready to share your reflections, questions, and ideas about how the reading relates to our understanding of U.S. history and current issues.
In this session, we will explore:
- What does it mean to be a citizen? What does that mean for our democracy?
- Why has the granting/denying of citizenship been such a highly contested “right” in our history?
- How does an understanding of the idea of citizenship and all the rights and privileges associated with it help us understand the issues of immigration and race relations in current times?
UPDATE: THIS SESSION HAS BEEN MOVED TO ONLINE. REGISTRANTS WILL RECEIVE A ZOOM LINK PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
