The Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative Presents:
From the Global to Local:
Supporting Immigrants through COVID and Beyond

Thursday, July 29, 2021
4:00 P.M. Pacific Time (US and Canada)


Around the world, hundreds of millions of people live outside their country of birth. In California, over one in four of the state’s residents are immigrants. How are they doing in these challenging times?

Join Irene Bloemraad, Faculty Director, Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative (BIMI) and Professor of Sociology to learn how BIMI is investigating the ways local communities are supporting immigrants through COVID, and beyond. COVID laid bare the vulnerabilities many immigrants face even as they do essential work, from working as doctors and nurses in our hospitals to ensuring the food supply.
