Working in Immigrant Communities
This introductory course explores the complexities of immigration, including, why people immigrate to the U.S., the history of U.S.-bound immigration, the demographic significance of the foreign-born, their settlement patterns and what happens after they arrive – the changing relations between newcomers and established residents in local communities. Immigration has always been a hotly contested issue throughout the history of the United States. Often controversies surrounding immigration are based on myths and misconceptions. This course will tackle some of the most common myths and misconceptions about immigration and equip participants with sound conceptual frameworks, reliable data and information and place-based engagement activities that will help community development professionals working in immigrant communities strengthen relationships between newcomers and established residents.
