Friends of CASE-
The call for proposals and early registration are open for the 2020 CASE Conference, which takes place Friday, Feb. 28, at the Chicago History Museum.
We are pleased to announce that the keynote for this year's CASE Conference on “Lines in the Sand: The Changing Narrative of American Identity and Migration" is Adam Goodman, an assistant professor of Latin American and Latino Studies and History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research and teaching interests include migration history and policy; Mexican American and Latina/o history; border and borderlands history; and recent U.S., Mexican, and Central American history. He is the author of The Deportation Machine: America’s Long History of Expelling Immigrants (Princeton University Press, forthcoming).
Also, please do your part to spread word about the conference through social media.
Here is an overview of this year's theme:
It is commonly acknowledged that the history of the United States and the history of immigration are inextricably linked. In the last 10 years, this relationship has taken on new and sometimes alarming dimensions. This year’s CASE Conference will focus on the NOW, the present lives and experiences of migrants and refugees as they navigate their way into and through the American civil society. Of course this also means we will reach into our curricula and pedagogy for ways to teach the complexities of the moment.
