See you in San Francisco!

Dear CRN colleagues,

Spring has come and your thoughts may be turning to the Law & Society meeting coming up in San Francisco.  For your convenience, we have posted a list of panels sponsored by our CRN, as well as other, relevant panels to the CRN02 theme.

CRN Updates from Marie Provine

For the past two years, the CRN on Citizenship and Immigration has organized a site-specific panel on “Immigration and Communities.” This year, Els de Graaw has put together a roundtable that will bring together city policymakers, practitioners, and immigrant advocates to talk about the state of immigrant rights in San Francisco. Other members of the CRN have also worked hard to create panels that will interest the broader membership at this year’s San Francisco meeting. We welcome scholars and practitioners interested in the causes and consequences of human mobility and the response of states to human movement.
